SOME BIOCHEMICAL ASPECTS OF THE BREASTFEEDING PERIOD
Journal Title: International scientific journal Science and Innovation - Year 2024, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
During lactation, the processes of maturation of many functions of the newborn’s body intensively occur. During this period, it is especially important to identify the role of hormonal factors in the milk of a lactating mother in the development of sucklings. Currently, it has been proven that breast milk is the ideal food for a newborn. With mother’s milk, it receives proteins, fats, carbohydrates, mineral salts, vitamins, immunoglobulins, physiologically important compounds, including growth factors, hormones, enzymes, and other components that are needed for growth and development. Breast milk cannot be replaced by any modern artificial milk formulas. Although additives that bring their chemical composition closer to milk are used during production, milk formulas cannot perform the subtle regulatory functions that are performed by breast milk components [1–4]. The introduction of thyroid hormones or their deficiency in the body changes the content of many enzymes in both positive and negative directions [1, 2, 3]. We present data indicating the influence of the state of the thyroid gland of a lactating mother on indicators of enzymatic activity in the liver, as well as some development parameters in suckling rat pups. Hormones, enzymes, growth factors, and other components of breast milk ensure the proper development and formation of the child’s body. Antibodies and immune complexes protect the baby from pathogens. Moreover, breastfeeding, if carried out over a long period of time, decreases the risk of allergies [5–8]. This review summarizes and systemizes data from literature on lactation and milk components, such as proteins, fats, carbohydrates, mineral salts, vitamins, enzymes, protective factors, and hormones. Human and cow milk composition is compared, as the latter is the main substrate for artificial milk formulas and supplemental feeding. The unique composition of human milk that ensures the proper development of the child is demonstrated.
