From: Metabolic phenotype of breast-fed infants, and infants fed standard formula or bovine MFGM supplemented formula: a randomized controlled trial

Figure 2

A post-intervention effect at 12 months of age was observed between the breast-fed (BF, green) and standard formula-fed (SF, red), and between the SF and experimental formula-fed (EF, orange) in NMR measurement of serum (a) isoleucine, (b) leucine, (c) valine, only when no or low complementary food was introduced before 6 months of age. (d) Serum glucose and (e) plasma insulin measurements (adapted from previous published work15) were not significantly different. (f) No significant difference in fasting time was observed. Significance was evaluated using Kruskal-Wallis posthoc Dunn’s test at p < 0.05.
