Book excerpt: Contemporary Issues in Clinical Nutrition, Volume 15 Mechanisms Regulating Lactation and Infant Nutrient Utilization Mary Frances Picciano and Bo Lönnerdal, Editors In the past decade, the study of human lactation has become the subject of increased research attention. Mechanisms Regulating Lactation and Infant Nutrient Utilization describes those investigative efforts with contributions from a multidisciplinary team of experts that offer the latest knowledge about and identify current research trends in the study of human lactation. This volume reflects the insights of this group of authorities with coverage of: Regulation of Milk Synthesis and Secretion Maternal Nutritional Consequences Policy Issues Impacting on Breast-Feeding Incidence and Duration Utilization of Milk-Borne Factors in Infants As a result of this research, our awareness of the complexities of human lactation has grown, especially in view of the public health significance of lactation for mother and infant, both nationally and internationally. This book is essential reading for nutritionists and pediatricians whose interests range from an in-depth understanding of the lactation process itself to issues underlying public policy recommendations for when and when not to breast-feed, and how the over 200 different components of human milk influence human development.

Download or read book Nutrient Regulation during Pregnancy Lactation and Infant Growth written by Lindsay Allen and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-22 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Almost every aspect of energy and nutrient metabolism is altered by hormonal and other physiological changes during pregnancy and lactation. While it is evident that hormonal adjustments affect nutrient requirements, these are rarely considered when nutrient recommen dations are made for pregnant or lactating women, and often neglected during evaluation of nutritional status. In addition, changes in nutrient metabolism during the stages of pregnancy and oflactation are usually considered separately, while in reality events during pregnancy can have a major influence on nutritional status and nutrient requirements during lactation. The purpose of this volume is to describe changes in the metabolism of important nutrients during pregnancy and lactation, including the physiological basis for these changes and their implications for nutrient requirements and assessment. Authors have considered such issues as inter-relationships between endocrine changes and nutrient metabolism at the tissue, cellular and molecular level; alterations in nutrient binding proteins; the efficiency of nutrient absorp tion and retention; and the impact on maternal as well as fetal nutritional status. Another unique aspect of this book is the focus on pregnancy and lactation as a continuum.
Download or read book Nutrition During Lactation written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1991-02-01 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the basis of a comprehensive literature review and analysis, Nutrition During Lactation points out specific directions for needed research in understanding the relationship between the nutrition of healthy mothers and the outcomes of lactation. Of widest interest are the committee's clear-cut recommendations for mothers and health care providers. The volume presents data on who among U.S. mothers is breastfeeding, a critical evaluation of methods for assessing the nutritional status of lactating women, and an analysis of how to relate the mother's nutrition to the volume and composition of the milk. Available data on the links between a mother's nutrition and the nutrition and growth of her infant and current information on the risk of transmission through breastfeeding of allergic diseases, environmental toxins, and certain viruses (including the HIV virus) are included. Nutrition During Lactation also studies the effects of maternal cigarette smoking, drug use, and alcohol consumption.
Download or read book Bioactive Components of Human Milk written by David S. Newburg and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2001-12-31 with total page 628 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The major emphasis in this book is a compilation and definition of what is known about components of human milk, including glycoconjugates, that inhibit common pathogens of the infant. Also discussed are other bioactive constituents whose relevant biological roles are also beginning to be defined. Hormonal and cytokine activity, immunomodulating and autoinflammatory agents, xenobiotics, and conditionally essential nutrients in milk could have roles in the protection of the infant, but may also participate in digestive processes, maternal--infant communication, maturation of the gut, central nervous system, and other components of infant growth and development. Like the protective activities, these are discussed in terms of their presence in milk, structures, potential functions, and structure/function relationship. Components whose role is nutritional support during early development of the infant are also included.

Download or read book Infant Formula written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2004-06-10 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Infant formulas are unique because they are the only source of nutrition for many infants during the first 4 to 6 months of life. They are critical to infant health since they must safely support growth and development during a period when the consequences on inadequate nutrition are most severe. Existing guidelines and regulations for evaluating the safety of conventional food ingredients (e.g., vitamins and minerals) added to infant formulas have worked well in the past; however they are not sufficient to address the diversity of potential new ingredients proposed by manufacturers to develop formulas that mimic the perceived and potential benefits of human milk. This book, prepared at the request of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Health Canada, addresses the regulatory and research issues that are critical in assessing the safety of the addition of new ingredients to infants.
