“…These recommended allowances correspond to a level of 3 to 5 mg/liter of zinc and a level of 0.4 mg/liter of copper in milk. The calculated daily intakes of zinc and copper, based on mean intakes of breast milk in Japan (Inoue 1960) (865 ml at 1 month, 845 ml at 3 months, 885 ml at 5 months) showed the followings : zinc 0.46, 0.16 and 0.13 mg/kg per day at 1, 3 and 5 months, respectively, and copper 0.08, 0.04, 0.03 mg/kg per day at 1, 3 and 5 months, respectively. The growth and clinical conditions of these infants were satisfactory, suggesting that zinc and copper intakes seem to fit these requirement of Japanese infants though further assessment is necessary.…”

Effect of low-content zinc and copper formula on infant nutrition

et al. 1982

The zinc (Zn) content of commercially available formula milks in Japan is less than that of breast milk obtained during the first three months of lactation, but is similar to that at five months of lactation. The copper (Cu) content of the formula milks is much lower than that of breast milk obtained during the five months. These two trace elements were measured in serum (at birth, one, three, and five months of age), hair (at birth and at five months of age) and urine (at one, three and five months of age) of twenty-one breast fed and twenty formula fed full term infants. Despite the differences in Zn and Cu intakes, these parameters were similar in these two infant groups, except for urinary Zn at one and three months of age. These were significantly higher in breast fed infants (P less than 0.005 and P less than 0.05). Weight and length increments were not different in either infant group. It appeared that normal, full term infants tolerated low-content Zn and Cu formula milks well. This observation, however, is not at variance with the FAO/WHO recommendation for prevention of Zn and Cu deficiency.

Longitudinal Changes in Selenium Content of Breast Milk

et al. 1983

The selenium (Se) contents of human milk, serum and hair obtained from 22 lactating mothers were measured by fluorometric analysis. The Se contents in 41 milk samples from different stages of lactation were obtained longitudinally from 10 mothers. They showed a large variance of individual samples at any stage of studies. The highest Se level was found in colostrum (median 80 ng/ml); subsequently, Se content declined significantly during the first month of lactation and then came to a plateau level (median 17-18 ng/ml). No positive correlation of Se content was found between the serum and the milk samples at three months of lactation. No positive correlation of Se content was found between the hair and the milk samples obtained from lactating mothers.
