Plasma retinol and retinol binding protein concentrations in premature infants fed preterm formula past hospital discharge

Article Abstract:

Feeding premature infants with a formula rich in nutrients, following their discharge from the hospital, enables them to reach normal plasma retinol and retinol binding protein (RBP) levels faster. Feeding the preterm infants with a formula enriched in nutrients over a period of at least 48 weeks enhances bone mineralization, growth and nutritional status, along with increases in plasma retinol levels and the simultaneous release of RBP. The presence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia does not affect plasma retinol or RBP releases.

Effect of varying protein intake on energy balance, protein balance and estimated weight gain composition in premature infants

Article Abstract:

A study of premature infants fed with protein quantities of 2.0g 100 ml (F2) or 1.5g 100 ml (F1.5) revealed the effects of protein intake regulation on energy balance, weight gain composition and protein balance in infants. Infants fed with F2 indicated higher protein accretion and gained more weight in comparison with that of F1.5-fed infants. The energy balance rates in both groups of infants remained independent of their protein intake rate.

Vitamins for newborn infant formulas: a review of recommendations with emphasis on data from low birth-weight infants

Article Abstract:

Guidelines for the vitamin components in infant formulas with particular focus on infants with low birth-weight from the US and the UK are compared with those included in an EC directive on intravenous vitamins for children. The need for the guidelines become apparent as the global markets for infant formula demand a degree of homogeneity of products. In the US, compliance with EC requirements will involve the development of a new formulation.
