Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We performed to examine the nutritional effect on term and preterm infants using urinary metabolome analysis.The infants were separated into four groups: the term-breast group (TB), the term-formula group (TF), the preterm-breast (PB), and the preterm-mixed group (PM). Urinary excretion of choline metabolites at 1mo were significantly higher in TB than in TF. Choline, betaine, and sarcosine excretion was not significantly different between the PB and TB at 1mo. Choline and N,N-dimethylglycine excretion was significantly higher in PM than PB at 1mo. Choline metabolites excretion was also significantly higher in PM than TF. Choline and betaine levels were significantly higher in the preterm than term formula used in this study.The type of feeding in early infancy affects choline metabolism. Metabolome analysis is useful for assessing choline metabolism to modify the contents of infant formulas also in preterm infants.
