Abstract:Objectives:Two previous studies have shown that the addition of nucleotides to single feedings of formula is associated with increased 90‐minute postprandial superior mesenteric artery (SMA) blood flow velocity (BFV). To assess the effect of chronic feeding of nucleotide‐supplemented formula, we measured pre‐ and postprandial SMA BFV in term infants fed formula with or without added nucleotides for 4 weeks.Methods:At 1 week of age, healthy, term infants were randomized to receive formula with added nucleotides… Show more
