  1. ncbi Determinants of breastfeeding initiation among mothers in Kuwait
    Manal Dashti
    Human Nutrition Section, Division of Developmental Medicine, University of Glasgow, Glasgow, UK
    Int Breastfeed J 5:7. 2010
    ..The objective of this study was to identify the incidence of breastfeeding amongst women in the six governorates of Kuwait and the factors associated with the initiation of breastfeeding...
  2. ncbi A human flora-associated rat model of the breast-fed infant gut
    Christine A Edwards
    Department of Human Nutrition, Glasgow University, Yorkhill Hospitals, Glasgow, UK
    J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr 37:168-77. 2003
    ..It is very difficult to carry out studies in human infants that can investigate the interaction of diet, flora, and mucosa. In this study we have developed an infant human flora-associated (IHFA) rat model to allow such investigation...
  3. ncbi In vitro fermentation characteristics of a mixture of Raftilose and guar gum by human faecal bacteria
    Khalid M Khan
    Human Nutrition Section, Division of Developmental Medicine, University of Glasgow, Yorkhill Hospitals, Glasgow, G3 8SJ, UK
    Eur J Nutr 44:371-6. 2005
    ..01. CONCLUSION: The fermentation of R/G mixture was different compared with 100 mg of R or G alone. There was no loss of n-butyrate in the culture containing R/G (50 mg of each) mixture compared with the 100 mg R culture...
