The aim of this study was to examine carotenoids in human and formulae milks
Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Two carotenoids, lutein and zeaxanthin are found in the retinal pigment epithelium of the eye where they are believed to protect it against oxidative and light damage. The amounts of these carotenoids consumed by premature infants are not known. OBJECTIVE: The objective of the investigation was to measure these carotenoids in human and formulae milks. DESIGN: In all, 28 more...

This article discusses how very preterm survivors are developing chronic lung disease characterised by protracted respiratory insufficiency and a requirement for supplemental oxygen
Abstract:
Increasing numbers of very preterm survivors are developing chronic lung disease characterised by protracted respiratory insufficiency and a requirement for supplemental oxygen. An early inflammatory response results in the development of airways remodelling. Pulmonary inflammation can be triggered by any combination of antenatal infection, mechanical ventilation or oxygen toxicity and more...

This article discusses blood lutein and zeaxanthin - believed to play a role in protecting the eye against oxidative and light damage - levels in neonates
Abstract:
Approximately 5-7% of all infants are born prematurely, and birth before 37 weeks is the most common cause of neonatal mortality, morbidity and long-term disability. Premature infants are poorly equipped for life outside the womb, and oxidant stress has been implicated in the aetiology of visual impairment in these infants, who are often exposed to increased O2 concentrations and high more...

The aim of this study was to examine the relationship of oxidative stress marker (protein carbonyl residues) with levels of MMP-9 and its inhibitor, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1), in bronchoalveolar lavage samples from newborn babies
Abstract:
Oxidative stress may increase lung permeability by up-regulation of matrix-metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), a type-IV collagenase that can disrupt alveolar basement membranes. We have compared a marker of oxidative stress (protein carbonyl residues) with levels of MMP-9 and its inhibitor, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1), in bronchoalveolar lavage samples from newborn more...
