The translation of lipid profiles to nutritional biomarkers in the study of infant metabolism

ConclusionFrom this study, we were able to identify and validate three lipids: PC(35:2), SM(36:2) and SM(39:1) that can be used collectively as biomarkers for infant nutrition during early development. These biomarkers can be used to determine whether young infants (3 –6 months) are breast-fed or receive formula milk.
