Human milk: comparison of the nitrogen composition in milk from mothers of premature and full-term infants

SA Atkinson, GH Anderson and MH Bryan

Total nitrogen concentration of human milk during the first 4 weeks of lactation is higher in milk obtained from mothers giving birth prematurely than in milk from mothers giving birth at term. In the present study, the relative composition of total nitrogen was found to be similar in premature and full-term milk except for some minor differences in small molecule components. Total nitrogen is comprised of an average of 82% protein, 8% of the nonprotein nitrogen components-- urea, free amino acids, uric acid, and ammonia--and the remaining 10% is predicted to be peptide nitrogen.
