Fig. 2: Fortification type (BC: bovine colostrum, CF: conventional fortifier) and plasma amino acids in very preterm infants.

From: Plasma amino acids after human milk fortification and associations with growth in preterm infants

Fig. 2

Plasma was sampled at the start of fortification (T0, CF: n = 110, BC: n = 100), and after one (T1, CF: n = 111, BC: n = 105) and two (T2, CF: n = 101, BC: n = 98) weeks of fortification and analysed by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. General linear models were used and adjusted for gestational age group at birth (above or below 29 weeks of gestation), small for gestational age, region of inclusion and postnatal age at sampling. Data is presented as median with interquartile range and all units are µmol/L. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001.
