Abstract: Necrotizing enterocolitis(NEC)is a common intestinal inflammatory disease in neonates, especially in premature infants, and still lack effective prevention and treatment methods.It has been reported that breast milk can effectively reduce the incidence of NEC.As an important component of breast milk, lipids provide key fat-soluble vitamins and essential fatty acids, and have the functions of maintaining intestinal function, promoting neurodevelopment and regulating immunity.Lipids are more abundant in premature breast milk.Therefore, its role in the prevention and treatment of common complications of premature infants, such as NEC, has been gradually paid attention to.This article reviews the progress of breast milk lipids in the prevention and treatment of neonatal NEC.
