Early determinants of adult metabolic regulation: effects of infant nutrition on adult lipid and lipoprotein metabolism

Article Abstract:

Understanding the mechanism of infant nutrition may clarify the origins of adult cardiovascular disease. Low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) concentrations and obesity even in childhood are major risk factors for coronary heart disease later in life. The long-term benefits of both breast-feeding and infant formula in the prevention of chronic disease are not clearly understood. However, various nutrition regimens during infancy may direct fat metabolism and fat storage adversely, according to animal models.
