From: Postprandial metabolic response of breast-fed infants and infants fed lactose-free vs regular infant formula: A randomized controlled trial

Figure 1

Principal components analysis (PCA) reveals differences between breastfed and formula-fed infants at baseline and after feeding. (A) PCA of baseline plasma samples from breastfed infants (green) and formula-fed infants (red). All formula fed infants were grouped together since all were consuming regular infant formula prior to the start of the experiment. Infants were acclimated to the taste of the formula for 1–3 feedings prior to the experiment. (B) PCA of plasma post-prandial metabolites from infants that were breastfed (green), infants that were fed lactose-based infant formula (red), and infants that were fed corn-syrup solids (CSS)-based infant formula (blue).
