  • Title: [Effect of different types of feeding on the fatty acid makeup of the blood serum in premature infants].

    Journal: Vopr Pitan; 1979; (6):44-9. PubMed ID: 516613.
    Abstract:
    The composition of fatty acids and the content of total serum lipids were studied in 65 virtually healthy premature infants on varying types of feeding, natural and mixed ones (supplemented with kefir and a mixture of the "Similak" type). It was established that the composition of blood serum fatty acids in premature infants on natural feeding is marked by age-specific features. The differences in the content of blood serum fatty acids among children on natural feeding and those whose food was supplemented by kefir and a mixture of the "Similak" type were consequent on the specificity of lipid fatty acids from the food given. Good tolerance, adequate weight gain and a high content of indispensable fatty acids in blood serum were attained as a result of the research described. Therefore it is recommended that whole kefir and the mixture of the "Similak" type may be used for feeding premature infants.
