Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) are bioactive factors that benefit neonatal health, but little is known about effects on growth in very preterm infants (<32 weeks’ gestation). We aimed to quantify HMO concentrations human fed during the hospitalization and investigate associations of HMOs with infant size body composition at term-equivalent age. In 82 human-milk-fed infants, we measured two time points. anthropometrics air displacement plethysmography calculated means individual total HMOs, constructed tertiles mean concentrations, assessed differences outcomes comparing highest intermediate lowest tertile using linear mixed models, adjusted for potential confounders.

Supplementing infant formulas (IFs) with oligosaccharides has gathered much attention over the years because of their purported disease-protecting and health-promoting properties.

Early-life nutrition significantly impacts vaccination efficacy in infants, whose immune response to vaccines is weaker compared adults. This study investigated female C57Bl/6JOlaHsd mice (6 weeks old) fed diets with 0.7% galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS)/long-chain fructo-oligosaccharides (lcFOS) (9:1), 0.3% human milk oligosaccharides (HMOS), or a combination (GFH) for 14 days prior and during vaccination. Delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) was measured by assessing ear swelling following an intradermal challenge. Influvac-specific IgG1 IgG2a levels were assessed using ELISAs, while splenic T B lymphocytes analyzed frequency activation via flow cytometry. Additionally, cytokine production evaluated murine splenocytes co-cultured influenza-loaded dendritic cells. Mice on the GFH diet showed enhanced DTH (p < 0.05), increased serological levels, significant rise memory (CD27+ B220+ CD19+). GFH-fed also exhibited more activated Th1 cells (CD69+ CXCR3+ CD4+) higher IFN-γ after ex vivo restimulation 0.05). These findings suggest that GOS/lcFOS HMOS, particularly combination, enhance vaccine responses improving cells, IgG production, cell activation, supporting potential use of these prebiotics infant formula better early-life development.
