Skin Lipid Profiles in Term and Preterm Infants

NCT01841268 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 25

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study is designed to compare the skin lipid and protein composition between term and premature infants and determine how the skin composition changes over the first four weeks of life. The investigators hope to elucidate the unique characteristics of premature skin by measuring the lipid and protein content in skin, how it changes during the first month of life, and how it varies with formula feeding versus breast feeding. Additionally, the investigators will study the relationships among diet, skin composition and plasma lipids in premature infants over the first four weeks of life.
