The effects of whole milk and infant formula on growth and IGF-I in late infancy

Abstract: Background/Objectives: High protein intake has been associated with increased growth. This may be linked to increased concentrations of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I), which seems to be influenced by the diet, especially its protein component. The short-term effects of high protein intake in late infancy are not known. The objective was to investigate the effects of high protein intake in the form of whole milk (WM) on growth and IGF-I from 9 to 12 months of age. Subjects/Methods: Healthy infants (n ¼ 83… Show more

“…We speculate that this may be due to more rapid growth in height because of improvement of nutritional status. 23,24 Associations of the age of AR with serum lipids, lipoproteins, AI, SBP, and DBP, with an earlier AR related to appearance of more atherogenic variables at 12 years of age, was apparent in boys in the current study; only Apo B showed a significant association with AR age in girls. The underlying mechanism of these sexually dimorphic differences may involve sex hormone levels and the androgen/estrogen balance.…”

“…Literature on the programming effect of fish-oil supplementation on later IGF-I concentrations is lacking. However, a Danish study by Larnkjaer et al (24) showed that supplementing either whole milk or infant formulae with fish oil for 3 mo had no immediate effect on IGF-I in 12-mo-old infants.…”

“…Sufficient nutrient supply and adequate insulin action are important for fetal IGF-I production, indicating a linkage between growth and nutrient availability [1,2]. In term infants, IGF-I levels are associated with postnatal growth and protein intake during infancy [3,4,5,6,7,8]. …”
