Mature milk, as a nutrient-rich endogenous metabolite, has various beneficial effects on the human body. In order to investigate the specific nutrients provided by different dairy products to humans, we used UHPLC-Q-TOF MS to analyze the highly significantly differentially expressed metabolites i...
Lipids in the brain play a crucial role as structural and signaling molecules, accounting for approximately 60% of the brain’s dry weight. Several lipid classes exhibit concentration profile differences between humans and other species, including closely related primates, with the most pronounced...
Synthetic human milk oligosaccharide (HMO) structures are used to supplement infant formula despite limited understanding of their impact on the developing gut microbiota. Here, we assess the impact of 2-fucosyllactose (2’FL) and pooled (p)HMOs on the composition and activity of cultured microbia...
Background: Traditional obesity interventions are often unsuitable for children. Breastfeeding has been shown to reduce obesity risk, potentially through bioactive metabolites in human milk. Here, we identified a human milk-derived metabolite, uridine 5'-monophosphate (5'-UMP), whose role in lipi...
Maternal metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) in mice creates a paradoxical neonatal ketone deficit during nursing, despite preserved hepatic ketogenesis, that precedes adult spatial memory impairment. Vulnerable litters show reduced β-hydroxybutyrate (β-HB) in the int...
