We observed higher ghrelin levels in FF infants aged 0-4 months than in BF ones. It has been found that BF infants eat more frequently smaller amounts of milk than FF ones; probably this is due to an increased satiety induced by breast milk related to lower ghrelin levels.

Abstract

We observed higher ghrelin levels in FF infants aged 0-4 months than in BF ones. It has been found that BF infants eat more frequently smaller amounts of milk than FF ones; probably this is due to an increased satiety induced by breast milk related to lower ghrelin levels.
