  Even though the process of gut maturation starts right from intrauterine life, it really gets accelerated only after birth through enteral route. The preterm infants as well as infants with intrauterine growth restriction and those who had absent or reversed umbilical cord flow during their intrauterine stay are the candidates to have immature gut. They are also prone to the complications like feeding intolerance and necrotizing enterocolities. It is well established that the human milk due to the presence of growth factors and cellular components, play important role in the process of gut maturation. With this background, we have hypothesised and proposed the concept of Human Milk Component (HMC) isolation and therapy for gut maturation in preterm infants. The aqueous fraction of human milk rich in growth factors and bioactive substances and the cellular fraction rich in different ki.. View More»
