Changes in Neonatal Serum and Breast Milk Levels of Lysophosphatydylcholines

摘要

The serum LPC levels are low at birth and LPC levels in LBW neonates reach adults levels at a later time than those in NBW neonates. The serum LPC levels, especially 18:0-LPC, in the infected neonates are low and increase with the treatment. The 18:0-LPC levels in human breast milk are relatively high. The 18:0-LPC may play a important role in immunity.
