Abstract:Epidemiological research showed that feeding breast milk, which is rich in cholesterol, translates into reduced cardiovascular risk in adulthood compared to feeding formula, which is cholesterol free. The mechanisms underlying these observations are unclear. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the impact of reduced dietary cholesterol availability during the suckling period on cholesterol metabolism in adult life in mice.
To achieve reduced dietary cholesterol exposure from breast milk … Show more
