The Study of Breast Milk IGF-1, Leptin, Ghrelin and Adiponectin Levels as Possible Reasons of High Weight Gain in Breast-Fed Infants

Abstract: Background: Excessive consumption of protein that leads to increased blood levels of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) is an important risk factor for high growth velocity and obesity in formula-fed infants. However, it is not clear whether these factors can explain the high growth velocity in breast-fed infants. Aim: To study the possible links between the growth velocity in breast-fed infants and the levels of protein, IGF-1 and other hormones, which regulate energy homeostasis, in mothers' breast milk.

“…Andreas et al (43) report of the three studies identified, none found a significant correlation between maternal BMI and breast milk ghrelin levels . An additional study also reported no significant correlation between maternal BMI and ghrelin concentration in breast milk . However, a recent study found an inverse association between maternal BMI and ghrelin concentration in breast milk .…”

“…The adipokines phenotype as predictor of early-life weight gain, has been recently explored, both in breast milk and cord blood serum concentrations (7,8,9). Adiponectin and leptin are factors known to influence normal and abnormal fetal growth (10,11,12).…”

“…EGF, HB-EGF, Epo, NGF. [26][27][28] At that period, the infant liver is unable to produce IGF-1 and probably the aforementioned other bioactive factors cause the first pathophysiological stage to occur. 35 According to our study results we speculate that; premature infants, who have had the opportunity to receieve human breast milk for enough time, could complete the retinal vascular development and by-pass the first stage of ROP with the help of maternal IGF-1 found in the human breast milk.…”

“…35 According to our study results we speculate that; premature infants, who have had the opportunity to receieve human breast milk for enough time, could complete the retinal vascular development and by-pass the first stage of ROP with the help of maternal IGF-1 found in the human breast milk. [26][27][28] Several studies in the literature support this speculation by showing the association between the weight gain (prenatal and postnatal) and retinal vascularization, depending on the effect of IGF-1 by nutritional support. 36,37 This support is human breast milk.…”
