[Science Update] Intervention of iron supplements for iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy
May 06, 2022
Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is a typical micronutrient deficiency in pregnant women with severe outcomes. The present animal study aimed at evaluating the effects of three iron supplements on female IDA rats and their offspring.

[Science Update] Associations between HMOs and bacterial profile and their relationships with infant body composition
May 06, 2022
This pilot study investigated associations between human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) and the predominant bacterial species found in human milk, as well as their relationships with body composition of three-month-old exclusively breastfed infants. Altogether, 60 dyads from the Breastfeeding Longitudinal Observational Study of Mothers and Kids (BLOSOM) in Australia were included in the analysis. Among the 60 mothers, 49 were secretors while 11 were non-secretors.

[Guideline Summary] Clinical recommendation - Treatment of psychiatric disorders with nutraceuticals and phytoceuticals
May 05, 2022
An international taskforce involving leading academics and clinicians from 15 countries convened by the World Federation of Societies of Biological Psychiatry (WFSBP) and the Canadian Network for Mood and Anxiety Disorders (CANMAT) provided update on guidelines regarding nutraceutical and phytoceutical therapies for use in psychiatric disorders.

[Literature library] Correlation between variations in HMO composition and intestinal epithelial barrier
Apr 06, 2022
A recently published in vitro study demonstrated that various HMO compositions trigger both common and different intestinal epithelial cell responses. 4 HMO blends were extracted from mature human milk of 4 randomly selected individual mothers in Canada. In this study, barrier-protective effects were considered as one of the ‘core’ functions of HMOs, while immune regulation was considered as an ‘additive’ function of HMOs.

[Science Update] Maternal iodine deficiency and human milk composition
Apr 06, 2022
In this study, the influence of maternal iodine deficiency on the metabolome and elemental composition of human milk was examined through a metabolomic analytical approach. Lactating women with normal and deficient iodine status were clearly distinguished accordingly to their multi-element and metabolomic profiles.

[Literature library] The influence of FUT-2 and FUT-3 polymorphisms on acute respiratory infections
Mar 07, 2022
Acute respiratory infections (ARIs) are one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in young children. Data (n = 240) from the Microbiota and Health Study in Bangladesh was analyzed to investigate the relationship between FUT-2/3 determining secretor and Lewis status and ARI occurrence in breastfed infants. Maternal secretor and Lewis status are used as a proxy for human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) in human milk, as FUT-2/3 polymorphisms shape fucosylated HMOs composition.
