Different content of cholesterol, retinol, and tocopherols in human milk according to its fat content

This study aimed at investigating the different content of the selected macro- and micronutrients in human milk (HM) according to its fat content. We collected 34 HM samples from Korean mothers, and classified them into 3 groups according to their fat content. Then, their protein, lactose, cholester...

Description
Summary:This study aimed at investigating the different content of the selected macro- and micronutrients in human milk (HM) according to its fat content. We collected 34 HM samples from Korean mothers, and classified them into 3 groups according to their fat content. Then, their protein, lactose, cholesterol, retinol, tocopherol, and mineral contents were compared. When their contents were presented as per 100 g of HM, cholesterol, retinol, and tocopherol contents increased significantly from group A–C ( p   0.05), whereas cholesterol content was significantly lower in group C compared to A and B ( p   0.05). In addition, strong correlations among cholesterol, retinol, and tocopherol contents were observed, whereas these components were negatively correlated with lactose content to a small extent, and unrelated to protein content.
