Data from: Maternal pre-pregnancy weight status modifies the influence of PUFAs and inflammatory biomarkers in breastmilk on infant growth

Background: Human breastmilk contains pro- and anti-inflammatory compounds
and hormones that can influence infant growth. However, little is known
about the specific interrelationships between these compounds and whether
their effects on infant growth may be influenced by pre-pregnancy weight
status. Objective: The purpose of this novel, prospective cohort study was
to assess the interrelationships between pro-inflammatory cytokines
(TNF-α, IL-6), hormones (insulin, leptin) and PUFAs (n-6, n-3) in blood
and breastmilk in early postpartum between women with normal BMI (Group 1,
n=18; 18.5
