Abstract

<abstract> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <sec> <title>ABSTRACT</title> <p>We evaluated the effects of fortification and composition on gastric emptying and curding in un/fortified pairs of mother's own milk (MOM, n = 17) and pasteurized donor human milk (PDHM, n = 15) in preterm infants. Retained meal proportions (%) and curding were determined from sonography. Immediate and subsequent postprandial % were higher for PDHM (23%, <italic>P</italic> = 0.026; 15%, <italic>P</italic> = 0.006) and fortified meals (31.5%; 8.8%, both <italic>P</italic> &lt; 0.001), whereas higher casein, whey, and lactose concentrations were associated with lower immediate postprandial % (all <italic>P</italic> &lt; 0.006). Curding did not affect emptying. Influences of fortification, pasteurization, and differing breast milk compositions are small and unlikely implicated in preterm feeding intolerance.</p> </sec> </abstract>
