   Abstract : Nutrition in infancy - Clinical studies on dietary intake, metabolism and growth Our aims were to try to determine an appropriate formula protein concentration to be used during the second half of infancy and to evaluate the effects on plasma lipids when breast milk was exchanged for formula and/or weaning foods. Both aspects were studied with special regard to the influence of traditional weaning foods. READ MORE

4. 2. Feeding Lactobacillus paracasei ssp. paracasei strain F19 to infants during weaning : effects on adaptive immunity and gut microbial function

Bifidobacteria and lactobacilli are considered health-promoting and are used as probiotics, i.e. READ MORE

5. 3. Nutritional and Microbiological Evaluation of Fermented Cereal Weaning Foods

   Author : Wilbald S.M. Lorri; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Protein energy malnutrition (PEM) is the most serious nutritional problem affecting pre-school children in developing countries.
