초록

모유 수유를 받는 영아는 생후 6개월까지 모유에 거의 모든 영양소 섭취를 의존하기 때문에 유즙의 콜린 농도가 영아의 콜린섭취에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 식품에는 콜린과 베타인이 함께 들어 있고 체내에서 콜린은 베타인으로 산화되어 메칠기 운반에 관여하므로 식품속의 총 콜린 함량만이 아니라 베타인 함량도 함께 고려하여야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 수유기간별 유즙의 총 콜린, 유리 콜린, 베 타인의 변화를 조사하고자 하였다. LC-MS방법을 사용하여 수유부 유즙의 콜린과 베타인 농도를 분석하여 영아의 콜린과 베타인의 섭취상태를 알아보고자 하였다. 1) 모유의 총 콜린 농도는 수유 첫 1개월째 145.03 mg/L (1.39 mmol/L), 2개월째 157.83 mg/L (1.52 mmol/L), 3개월째 165.99 mg/L (1.60 mmol/L), 4개월째 153.67 mg/L (1.48 mmol/L), 5개월째 145.05 mg/L (1.39 mmol/ L)이었다. 모유의 유리 콜린 농도는 수유 1개월 24.96 mg/L (0.239 mmol/L), 2개월 29.56 mg/L (0.284 mmol/L), 3개월 29.40 mg/L (0.283 mmol/L), 4개월 23.41 mg/L (0.225 mmol/L), 5개월 24.03 mg/L (0.231 mmol/L)로 수유월령에 따라 큰 차이는 없었다. 모유의 베타인 농도는 수유 1개월에 4.424 mg/L (0.038 mmol/L), 2개월 3.442 mg/L (0.033 mmol/L), 3개월 3.200 mg/L (0.031 mmol/L), 4개월 2.257 mg/L (0.022 mmol/L), 5개월 2.433 mg/L ($0.020\;{\mu}mol/L$)이었다. 2) 수유기간별 영아의 유즙 섭취량은 2개월에 771.1 mL/d, 3개월에 792.0 mL/d, 4개월에 796.5 mL/d, 5개월에 711.0 mL/d이었다. 3) 영아의 총 콜린 섭취량은 2개월 124.61 mg/d, 3개월 120.90 mg/d, 4개월 126.50 mg/d, 5개월 104.09 mg/d로 4개월까지는 큰 변화가 없었으나 생후 5개월에 크게 감소하는 경향이었다. 영아의 체중 kg당 총 콜린 섭취량은 2개월 19.76 mg/d, 3개월 16.67 mg/d, 4개월 16.14 mg/d, 5개월 12.80 mg/d이었다. 4) 영아의 유리콜린 섭취량은 2개월 24.15 mg/d, 3개월 21.57 mg/d, 4개월 19.35 mg/d, 5개월 17.10 mg/d이었고, 수유기간별로 유의적인 차이는 없었으나 점차 감소하는 경향이었다. 영아의 체중 kg당 유리콜린 섭취량은 2개월 3.85 mg/d, 3개월 2.97 mg/d, 4개월 2.47 mg/d, 5개월 2.08 mg/d이었다. 5) 영아의 베타인 섭취량은 2개월 3.12 mg/d, 3개월 2.82 mg/d, 4개월 2.10 mg/d, 5개월 1.83 mg/d로 유리콜린과 유사한 경향을 보였다. 영아의 체중 kg당 베타인 섭취량은 2개월 0.50 mg/ d, 3개월 0.39 mg/d, 4개월 0.27 mg/d, 5 개월 0.22 mg/d이었다. 6) 영아의 콜린 섭취량은 모유의 콜린농도와는 r = 0.982 (p = 0.000), 모유섭취량과는 r = 0.414 (p = 0.028)로 유의적인 양의 상관관계를 보였다. 이상의 연구결과로부터 한국인 수유부 유즙의 총 콜린농도와 유리콜린농도는 외국인 수유부의 유즙에 비해 결코 낮지 않은 수준이며, 이로 인해 영아의 콜린 섭취상태는 부족하지 않을 것으로 사료된다. 더욱이 영아의 총콜린 섭취량은 모유 섭취량보다 모유의 총콜린 농도와 더 강한 양의 상관관계를 나타냄으로써 모유의 콜린농도가 영아의 콜린 섭취량에 영향을 미칠 수 있을 가능성을 보였다.

Most nutrients taken by pregnant women are secreted into their breast milk. Food contains choline together with betaine, and in human body choline is oxidized to betaine which transfer methyl group. The aim of the study was to estimate the concentrations of choline and betaine in breast milk of Korean lactating women and the choline and betaine intakes of their infants. Total choline, free choline and betaine concentrations in breast milk of some lactating women living in Daejon Metropolitan city were analyzed every month by using HPLC-MS and enzymatic method during the first five months. Total choline concentrations of breast milks were 157.64 mg/L (1.52 mmol/L), 157.83 mg/L (1.52 mmol/L), 165.99 mg/L (1.60 mmol/L), 153.67 mg/L (1.48 mmol/L), 145.05 mg/L (1.39 mmol/L) by month after delivery for five months. The concentrations of total choline and free choline in breast milks were not significantly changed for the five months while the betaine concentrations gradually decreased. Daily intake of total choline of the infants appears to be adequate for the infant's requirement according to the US DRI; 124.6 mg/d, 120.9 mg/d, 126.5 mg/d 104.1 mg/d from 2nd to 5th month after birth. Free choline and betaine intakes of the infants were not significantly changed during the four months except showing decrease in betaine intake per kg body weight. Choline intakes of the infants more correlated with choline concentrations of the breast milks (r = 0.982, p = 0.000) than intake amount of the breast milk (r = 0.414, p = 0.028). These results suggest that the choline intake of Korean breast-fed infants appears to be adequate and the intake could be affected by the choline concentration of the breast milk.
