Abstract
In this study serum T3 concentration was compared in breast fed, animal fed and formula fed infants, aged 3 to 12 months. 15 Infants for each type of feeding were studied. All were healthy infants with normal weight for their ages. Serum T3 was significantly greater in the breast fed infants, 2.38 ± 0.62 ng/ml (P < 0.001), in comparison with the animal milk fed infants 1.20 ± 0.60 ng/ml and the formula fed infants 0.52 ± 0.45 ng/ml. Results are explained and discussed.
