 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 17 Nucleotide effects on infant nutrition and safety seminar [Keywords: Nucleotide role of infant and young child nutrition security Nucleotide Due to improved intestinal microflora, intestinal morphology and function to maintain and promote growth, improve immune system function, so in recent years is widely added to infant formula milk powder. Especially for premature babies to that the milk consumption of added nucleotides is more important, because no full-term newborn babies and acceptance of breastfeeding in the metabolism of the opportunities are limited. Now been reported in the literature the role of nucleotide nutrition research progress and safety are summarized below. First, the nucleotide effect on infant nutrition Natural source of nucleotides is breast milk, which is a milk protein N Africa, the content of its 2% to 5% nucleotides in breast milk to meet the rapid growth of early infancy when the need for increased dietary nucleotides. Milk the exogenous nucleic acid or breastfeeding, through a decentralized energy metabolism of de novo synthesis pathway, can be optimized tissue growth and differentiation, so the state has since 1965 allowed the number of nucleotides added to infant milk powder. For dairy nutritional role of nucleotides in the research is focused in the following areas: improving the intestinal flora, intestinal morphology and function to maintain and promote growth, improve immune function, improve lipid metabolism. 1. The role of intestinal flora: the intestine in breastfed infants, bifidobacteria dominated, while the consumption of infant formula gut is dominated by Gram-negative bacteria. The core of 5 monophosphate glucoside were added to the basic medium, we can see that they can slowly but clearly to promote the growth of Bifidobacterium. while adding 5 nucleotides will be greater promotion of the growth of bifidobacteria [1].
