Partially hydrolyzed infant formulae for preterm infants: substantiation for their use

Abstract

The article discusses the rationale for use partially-hydrolyzed infant formulae for nutritional support of preterm infants. Composition of breast milk proteins is highlighted along with some data on pathophysiology of proteolysis in the gastrointestinal tract of preterm infants. Results of the clinical trials and reviews on partially hydrolyzed infants formulae in preterm infants are also discussed with an attempt to define the advantages of the use of infant formulae based on partially hydrolyzed protein in preterm infants.

Keywords:preterm infants, gastrointestinal tract, partially hydrolyzed protein, infant formulae, nutrition, growth
