Introduction: The composition of human milk is the biologic norm for infant nutrition. Human milk also contains many hundreds to thousands of distinct bioactive molecules that protect against infection and inflammation and contribute to immune maturation, organ development, and healthy microbial colonization. Methods: 433 and 216 mothers were selected from Tehran southern and northern health care centers. The mother’s diet was measured by a 24 hour diet history questionnaire for the past 3 days. All breast milk samples were frozen in plastic containers and stored immediately at –20°C until analysis. The samples were centrifuged at 3000 g for 15 minutes and the superficial fat layer was separated. Breast milk protein was measured by the Lowry method. Breast milk Triglyceride was measured by the triglyceride colorimetric assay kit. Results: T.. View More»
