Evaluating Metabolic Profiling of Human Milk Using Biocrates MxP® QUANT 500 Assay
No full textBackground/Objectives: Metabolic profiling of human milk (HM) is indispensable for elucidating mother-milk-infant relationships. Methods: We evaluated the Biocrates MxP® Quant 500 assay for HM-targeted metabolomics (106 small molecules, 524 lipids) and analyzed in a feasibility test HM from apparently healthy Brazilian mothers (A: 2–8, B: 28–50, C: 88–119 days postpartum, ntotal = 25). Results: Of the 630 possible signatures detectable with this assay, 506 were above the limits of detection in an HM-pool (10 µL) used for assay evaluation, 12 of them above the upper limit of quantitation. Analyzing five different HM-pool volumes (2–20 µL) revealed acceptable linearity for 458 metabolites. Intraday accuracy of 80–120% was attained by 469 metabolites after spiking and for 342 after a 1:2 dilution. Analyzing HM from Brazilian mothers revealed significantly lower concentrations in colostrum vs. mature milk for many flow-injection analyses (FIA) and only a few LC-MS metabolites, including triglycerides, sphingomyelins, and phosphatidylcholines. Higher concentrations at the later lactation stages were found predominantly for amino acids and related compounds. Conclusions: The MxP Quant® 500 assay is a useful tool for HM metabolic profiling, minimizing analytical bias between matrices, and enhancing our ability to study milk as a biological system

Human milk macro- and trace-elements: Simultaneous analysis in sub-milliliter amounts by ICP-MS and application to assessing acute supplementation effects.
No full textAdequate concentrations of human milk (HM) nutrients, including macro- and trace-elements, are essential for healthy growth and development of exclusively breastfed (EBF) infants. To monitor potential risk of deficiencies, and evaluate the effects of interventions like supplementation, accurate analysis is crucial. Even recent methods reporting on HM macro- and/or trace-elements describe multiple methodological approaches and the need for several milliliters. We optimized and validated a comprehensive method for simultaneous analysis of 13 macro- and trace-elements for simultaneous analysis by inductively-coupled plasma-mass spectrometry. 100-600 μL HM were microwave digested with ≤1.5 mL HNO3 (70 %). The digest was diluted to 5 % final acid concentration. He-Kinetic Energy Discrimination (KED; Na, K, P, Ca, Mg, Fe, Cu, Zn, Cr, Mo) and O2-Dynamic Reaction Cell (DRC; As, Mn, Se) modes minimized remaining interferences. Accuracy (NIST SRM 1869 infant formula; n = 15, 4 weeks) varied from 93.2 to 103 % (CV: 2.8-8.5 %) with trueness ranging from 93.9 to 104 %. Inter-day variation of a HM-pool (n = 20, 3 weeks) varied between 4.1 and 8.5 % for most elements; Cr, Mo, Mn (all<5 μg L-1) had higher variation, up to 25 %. Analyzing HM from 18 Bangladeshi mothers (2-4 months postpartum; day 1 = baseline, n = 17; day 2/3 = supplementation, n = 21 each) revealed higher concentrations for P, Ca, and Zn post-supplementation (p < 0.05, Friedmans Chi-Square Test). Na, Mg, Zn, and Se had the highest number of samples (>80 %) with concentrations below the Adequate Intake. Our method allows for simultaneous and reproducible analysis of macro- and trace-elements with concentrations ranging over 6 orders of magnitude, without the need for separate analytics and sample preparations, and requiring only sub-milliliter amounts of HM. Additional elements may be included after optimization and validation. The results from Bangladeshi HM samples indicate selective supplementation effects and concerningly low concentrations for some elements, which could adversely affect the EBF infant

No full textBritish Rule in the Subcontinent, Literary Movements, and the Authors of the Partition Period: Qudrat Ullah Shahab
No full textDue to the rapid development of events since the 19th century alongside the British rule of the Indian subcontinent, genres such as novels and short stories were left out of Urdu literature. At that time, poetry had a great influence on mobilizing the masses, and a poetry-oriented trend had occurred in Urdu literature. However, at the beginning of the 20th century when Qudrat Ullah Shahab lived, an important Urdu literature writer and subject of the article, stories and novels are seen to have gained popularity alongside the poetry genre. Although prose had come about from Western literary figures in this period, these writers had dealt with stories specific to their own regions. As the people found their lives in these works, prose also consolidated its place in literature. Qudrat Ullah Shahab lived between 1920-1986, the period thatwitnessed the division of Pakistan and India, and succeeded in reflecting the painful life stories of this period in his stories as best he could. This study aims to introduce the life, literary personality, and works of Qudrat Ullah Shahab as one of the important writers of the Indian subcontinent who lived through the Partition period and was especially famous for his autobiography titled Shahabnama. Before talking about the author in this context, mentioning the situation of the subcontinent and the literary movements regarding the types of prose in his period would be appropriate
Vitamin Concentrations in Human Milk Vary with Time within Feed, Circadian Rhythm, and Single-Dose Supplementation
No full textBackground: Human milk is the subject of many studies, but procedures for representative sample collection have not been established. Our improved methods for milk micronutrient analysis now enable systematic study of factors that affect its concentrations.Objective: We evaluated the effects of sample collection protocols, variations in circadian rhythms, subject variability, and acute maternal micronutrient supplementation on milk vitamin concentrations.Methods: In the BMQ (Breast-Milk-Quality) study, we recruited 18 healthy women (aged 18-26 y) in Dhaka, Bangladesh, at 2-4 mo of lactation for a 3-d supplementation study. On day 1, no supplements were given; on days 2 and 3, participants consumed ∼1 time and 2 times, respectively, the US-Canadian Recommended Dietary Allowances for vitamins at breakfast (0800-0859). Milk was collected during every feeding from the same breast over 24 h. Milk expressed in the first 2 min (aliquot I) was collected separately from the remainder (aliquot II); a third aliquot (aliquot III) was saved by combining aliquots I and II. Thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and vitamins B-6, B-12, A, and E and fat were measured in each sample.Results: Significant but small differences (14-18%) between aliquots were found for all vitamins except for vitamins B-6 and B-12. Circadian variance was significant except for fat-adjusted vitamins A and E, with a higher contribution to total variance with supplementation. Between-subject variability accounted for most of the total variance. Afternoon and evening samples best reflected daily vitamin concentrations for all study days. Acute supplementation effects were found for thiamin, riboflavin, and vitamins B-6 and A at 2-4 h postdosing, with 0.1-6.17% passing into milk. Supplementation was reflected in fasting, 24-h postdose samples for riboflavin and vitamin B-6. Maximum amounts of dose-responding vitamins in 1 feeding ranged from 4.7% to 21.8% (day 2) and 8.2% to 35.0% (day 3) of Adequate Intake.Conclusions: In the milk of Bangladeshi mothers, differences in vitamin concentrations between aliquots within feedings and by circadian variance were significant but small. Afternoon and evening collection provided the most-representative samples. Supplementation acutely affects some breast-milk micronutrient concentrations. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT02756026

Matern Child Nutr
No full textWe evaluated effects of antiretroviral (ARV) therapy and lipid-based nutrient supplements (LNSs) on iron, copper, and zinc in milk of exclusively breastfeeding HIV-infected Malawian mothers and their correlations with maternal and infant biomarkers. Human milk and blood at 2, 6, and 24\ua0weeks post-partum and blood during pregnancy ( 6430\ua0weeks gestation) were collected from 535 mothers/infant-pairs in the Breastfeeding, Antiretrovirals, and Nutrition study. The participants received ARV, LNS, ARV and LNS, or no intervention from 0 to 28\ua0weeks post-partum. ARVs negatively affected copper and zinc milk concentrations, but only at 2\ua0weeks, whereas LNS had no effect. Among all treatment groups, approximately 80-90% of copper and zinc and <50% of iron concentrations met the current adequate intake for infants at 2\ua0weeks and only 1-19% at 24\ua0weeks. Pregnancy haemoglobin was negatively correlated with milk iron at 2 and 6\ua0weeks (r\ua0=\ua0-.18, p\ua0<\ua0.02 for both). The associations of the milk minerals with each other were the strongest correlations observed (r\ua0=\ua0.11-.47, p\ua0<\ua0.05 for all); none were found with infant biomarkers. At 2\ua0weeks, moderately anaemic women produced milk higher in iron when ferritin was higher or TfR lower. At 6\ua0weeks, higher maternal \u3b1-1-acid glycoprotein and C-reactive protein were associated with higher milk minerals in mildly anaemic women. Infant TfR was lower when milk mineral concentrations were higher at 6\ua0weeks and when mothers were moderately anaemic during pregnancy. ARV affects copper and zinc milk concentrations in early lactation, and maternal haemoglobin during pregnancy and lactation could influence the association between milk minerals and maternal and infant iron status and biomarkers of inflammation.U48 DP001944/DP/NCCDPHP CDC HHSUnited States/D43 TW001039/TW/FIC NIH HHSUnited States/U48DP001944/ACL/ACL HHSUnited States/R24 TW007988/TW/FIC NIH HHSUnited States/P30 DK056350/DK/NIDDK NIH HHSUnited States/R24 HD050924/HD/NICHD NIH HHSUnited States/P2C HD050924/HD/NICHD NIH HHSUnited States/U48 DP000059/DP/NCCDPHP CDC HHSUnited States/P30 AI050410/AI/NIAID NIH HHSUnited States
