2021, NeuropharmacologyCitation Excerpt :In humans the process of feeding milk from the breast is called breastfeeding or nursing (Capuco and Akers, 2009; NIH, 2013). It is well known that breast milk represents the main source of nutrition for the newborn for many mammalian species, and alterations in its composition of macronutrients (fat, protein, and carbohydrates) and micronutrients (vitamins and minerals), antibodies, growth factors and hormones are related to future disorders (Golding et al., 1997; Grosvenor et al., 1993; Hahn-Holbrook et al., 2016; Hinde et al., 2015). Currently, the importance of breastfeeding has been well recognized globally by public opinion, mainly due to scientific discoveries in the epidemiological and experimental fields.
Tobacco smoking during breastfeeding increases the risk of developing metabolic syndrome in adulthood: Lessons from experimental models
2020, Food and Chemical ToxicologyCitation Excerpt :Regarding neural development, lactation in rats is thought to be equivalent to the third trimester of the gestational period in humans (Quinn, 2005). The function of lactation is to provide the primary source of nutrition and immune protection to offspring after birth (Golding et al., 1997). For this reason, we chose to explore the lactation period, which is a critical window for adverse environmental changes that impact cognitive and neurological development by predisposing newborns to metabolic diseases in adulthood (Srinivasan and Patel, 2008).
Influence of breastfeeding and iron status on mental and psychomotor development during the first year of life.
2018, Infant Behavior and DevelopmentCitation Excerpt :In fact, the maternal decision to breastfeed seems to be related to higher maternal intelligence (Jacobson et al., 1992). Moreover, multiple other prenatal, perinatal and postnatal factors, such as maternal prenatal drugs consumption (nicotine, alcohol and other drugs), infant nutrition and infant physical growth status, have also been described as possible factors related to MPD (Anderson et al., 1999; Conroy et al., 2012; Golding et al., 1997; Kiechl-Kohlendorfer et al., 2010; Mortensen, Michaelsen, Sanders, & Reinisch, 2002; Nyaradi et al., 2013), but these variables are not normally included as confounds in the analysis. Some studies have shown that MPD, nutritional status and physical growth are associated with infant head circumference, which is also associated with BF (Ferreira et al., 2013Ferreira, de Assunção, dos Santos, & Horta, 2013).
Longitudinal association between early life socio-environmental factors and attention function at the age 11 years
2012, Environmental ResearchCitation Excerpt :Our results suggest that maternal supplementation during pregnancy may have a persistent effect on the cognitive development of children. Our finding that commission errors were decreased by longer duration of breastfeeding is supported by earlier studies, which have shown a positive association between breastfeeding and neuropsychological development during the first years of life (Anderson et al., 1999; Golding et al., 1997). Horwood and Fergusson (1998), for instance, reported positive associations between breastfeeding and cognitive development in school and adolescent children.
