About the Book

Contemporary Issues in Clinical Nutrition, Volume 15 Mechanisms Regulating Lactation and Infant Nutrient Utilization Mary Frances Picciano and Bo Lonnerdal, Editors In the past decade, the study of human lactation has become the subject of increased research attention. Mechanisms Regulating Lactation and Infant Nutrient Utilization describes those investigative efforts with contributions from a multidisciplinary team of experts that offer the latest knowledge about and identify current research trends in the study of human lactation. This volume reflects the insights of this group of authorities with coverage of: Regulation of Milk Synthesis and Secretion Maternal Nutritional Consequences Policy Issues Impacting on Breast-Feeding Incidence and Duration Utilization of Milk-Borne Factors in Infants As a result of this research, our awareness of the complexities of human lactation has grown, especially in view of the public health significance of lactation for mother and infant, both nationally and internationally. This book is essential reading for nutritionists and pediatricians whose interests range from an in-depth understanding of the lactation process itself to issues underlying public policy recommendations for when and when not to breast-feed, and how the over 200 different components of human milk influence human development.
