Evaluation of the antioxidant capacity of colostrum of puerper women hospitalized in a high-risk maternity

Abstract

To determine the antioxidant capacity of breast milk and to relate to maternal and newborn variables. We interviewed and underwent a process of collecting and collecting a minimum volume of 1ml of colostrum from each participant. The analyzes were performed using the DPPH method and the results were reported on maternal variables (weight and length at birth). 59% live with their partners. The majority (65%) had 2 to 4 children, 79% did not exercise outside the home, 60% had income between 1 and 2 minimum wages and 43% studied in between 5 and 9 years. 97% prenatal discount, with an average of 6 consultations per generational period, however 47% were removed and dispatched in 33% of the cases were examined in a consultation. The supplementation with acid and organic acid in 89% and 84%, respectively, during the gestational process of the mothers interviewed. The practice of alcohol consumption was presented in 18% of puerperal women and smoking in 8%. The first hour of life corresponded to 41%. It was found that there is a significant difference between AC and maternal and newborn variables. In a between maternal milk antioxidant ability and BMI categories, it was found that the differences were significant when it came to prepregnancy BMI, where a median of AC in overweight women differed from obese women, categorized as eutrophic have an intermediate behavior between being overweight and obese. In the evaluations between AC and maternal-infant variables it was verified that there was no significant significance. An analysis of antioxidant capacity and control over the variables of food consumption, fast, efficient and effective in relation to society. Colostrum of women attentively attenuated antioxidant, nonexistent between maternal and newborn.
