Changes in the Contents of Major Minerals and Trace Elements of Human Milk During the Breast-Feeding
수유기간별 모유의 주요 무기질 및 미량원소 함량 변화
Abstract
Concentrations of 5 major minerals(Na, K, Ca, P, Mg) and 3 trace elements(Mn, Mo, Ni) were measured in human milk samples collected from 21 highly selected healty lactating women at 2-5 days and at 1, 2, 4, 6 and 12 weeks postpartum. Significant decrease in contents of the major minerals and trace elements were found with time postpartum. Sodium contents decreased from 293.01ug/N at 2-5 days to 194.27ug/N at 12 weeks. Potassium contents also decreased from 436.18ug/N in colostrum to 358.51ug/N in matured milk at 12 weeks. The Ca/P ratios of colostrum transitional and matured milk were 3.39, 281 and 2.45 respecti-vely. Mean manganese levels of colostrum and transitional were 0.024ug/N and those of matured milk were 0.014ug/N. Molybdenum concentrations in the breast-milk collected at 1, 2, 4 weeks were higher than those in the milk samples at 2-5 days and 12 weeks Nickel content of colostrum was 0.062ug/N and those of trnsitional matured milk were 0.22ug/N and 0.017ug/N, These determinations will provide the basic information on the variability of minerals and trace elements as lactation proceed and the comparison of the components between term and preterm milk.
한국인 수유부 21명의 모유에 함유된 무기질(Na, K, Ca, P, Mg)과 일부 미량원소(Mn, Mo, Ni)의 함량을 경시적으로 초유부터 12주의 성숙유에 이르기 까지 일정한 간격으로 세분하여 비교 분석하였다. 모유에 함유된 5종의 무기질과 8종의 미량원소들의 함량은 수유기간에 따라 유의적으로 감소하였다. 모유의 평균 나트륨 함량은 초유에서 293.01
