Abstrakt: Human milk samples that inhibit bilirubin-UDP-glucuronyl transferase (UDPGT) activity in vitrohave been associated with prolonged unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia in newborn infants. We measured the concentrations of nonesterified fatty acids (total and individual fatty acids), total fat and protein, and lipase activities (with and without bile salt stimulation) in milk samples from two groups of women. Women whose infants had prolonged unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia and whose milk inhibited the activity of UDPGT were in the first group (N= 9). Volunteers with healthy infants acted as controls.
