The Milk Metabolome of Non-secretor and Lewis Negative Mothers.

ABSTRACT: Introduction: The functional role of milk for the developing neonate is an area of great interest, and a significant amount of research has been done. However, a lot of work remains to fully understand the complexities of milk, and the variations imposed through genetics. It has previously been shown that both secretor (Se) and Lewis blood type (Le) status impacts the human milk oligosaccharide (HMO) content of human milk. While some studies have compared the non-HMO milk metabolome of Se+ and Se- women, none have reported on the non-HMO milk metabolome of Se- and Le- mothers. Method and Results: To determine the differences in the non-HMO milk metabolome between Se-Le- mothers and other HMO phenotypes (Se+Le+, Se+Le-, and Se-Le+), 10 milk samples from 10 lactating mothers we
