Abstract:
Human breast milk contains a good balance of nutrients.In recent years,researchers have found that it contains not only abundant nutrients,but also different active components,and MicroRNAs (miRNA) are included.MiRNA are endogenous non-coding RNA,consisting of 21 to 25 nucleotides in length.They play an important role in regulating a variety of biological processes.In the miRNA confirmed in human breast milk,let-7、miRNA-30b and miRNA-378 are highly expressed and researches have already demonstrated that these miRNA are participating in the regulation of adipocytes differentiation,lipid accumulation and sugar and lipid metabolism.
