“…Regarding the biochemical analysis, the colostrum retinol found for healthy puerperal women was similar to those found in the literature (Ribeiro et al 2009, Szlagatys-Sidorkiewicz et al 2012. However, there are not studies with the same characteristics in puerperal women with diabetes.…”

The influence of gestational diabetes on vitamin A deficiency in lactating women and, consequently, in their newborn has been verified through a cross-sectional case-control study conducted with volunteer puerperal women. The control group consisted of healthy women and the test group was composed of women with gestational diabetes. One hundred and seven women were recruited, corresponding to 71 controls and 36 cases. Personal, gestational and newborn data were collected directly from medical records during hospitalization. The retinol was determined in maternal colostrum and serum by High Performance Liquid Chromatography. Postpartum women with gestational diabetes were older, had more children and a higher prevalence of cesarean delivery. No difference was found in retinol concentration in maternal milk and serum between the groups. However, it was observed that 16.7% had vitamin A deficiency in the group of patients with diabetes and only 4.1% had such deficiency in the control group. Although no difference was found in colostrum and serum retinol concentration between women with and without gestational diabetes, the individual analysis shows that those with diabetes are at higher risk of being vitamin A deficient.

“…7 Around the eight and up to the 15 th day postpartum, the milk is called ''transitional milk'', and changes in its composition continue to occur, until approximately two weeks postpartum, when the milk composition becomes more stable, thus being characterized as mature milk. 6 The concentration of alpha-tocopherol in colostrum milk in most of the studied populations is similar; however, some results diverge from the mean found by the others, such as the studies conducted in Germany 4 and Spain, 8 in which the values of the vitamin in the colostrum were much higher than those observed in Bangladesh 5 and Poland, 9 for instance. In the first two studies, however, it is emphasized that the sample size was small, and that the German study 4 found a variation in the composition of alpha-tocopherol in milk, as demonstrated by the standard deviation (Table 1).…”

“…Szlagatys-Sidorkiewicz et al, 9 based on a three-day nutritional diary made by 49 Polish women, observed that the concentration of vitamin E in breast milk was not correlated with their respective dietary intake. In that study, the concentration of vitamin E in milk was not higher in women who received the vitamin supplements recommended for pregnant and lactating women, compared to those who did not (p = 0.332).…”

“…Studies have shown that breast milk possesses essential defense mechanisms, which are not available in infant formulas (Friel et al 2002;Aycicek et al 2006) or bovine milk (Hamosh 2001). In contrary to Szlagatys-Sidorkiewicz et al (2012) who showed that total antioxidant status (TAS) of colostrum was lower than the TAS of mature milk, previous studies (Matos et al 2009;Zarban et al 2009) showed that TAC and radical scavenging activity decreased in transition milk and mature milk when it was compared with the colostrum. In the present study, the reason for the decreased MDA concentration observed in the colostrum as compared to transition milk and mature milk might be due to the increased levels of CAT, SOD, NO, and LF present in it.…”

Due to the oxidative stress conditions at birth, newborn needs some immunological and antioxidative protection after birth. The present study was conducted to point out the oxidant and antioxidant activity of human breast milk throughout the lactation. For this purpose, the levels of malondialdehyde, nitric oxide, lactoferrin, superoxide dismutase, and catalase was determined in colostrum, transition milk, and mature milk. Milk samples were collected from 20 volunteer mothers at 24-48 h of delivery and 7 and 14 days after delivery. The skimmed milk was used for determination of the levels of malondialdehyde, nitric oxide, and lactoferrin and the activities of the catalase and superoxide dismutase enzymes. As the lactation period proceeded, the malondialdehyde level increased and the levels of nitric oxide and lactoferrin as well as the activities of catalase and superoxide dismutase decreased. Colostrum has a high antioxidant capacity, and these antioxidants decrease during the lactation period owing to the changing need of the growing infant. The results of this study revealed the importance of breastfeeding immediately after the birth to take the advantage of colostrum.
