In addition, in the result etc. of fatty acid compositional analysis who with arachidonic acid (AA), docosahexenoic acid (DHA) is representative, also unknown significance difference (Fig. 2 and Fig. 3).On the other hand; In the composition analysis of blood plasma phospholipid; In SM reinforce-milk group; 4 weeks of birth back are compared with matched group with the blood plasma SM concentration in 6 weeks, and (p<0.01:un-paired Student ' stest) the high value (4 all 27.6%vs16.3%, 6 all 23.1%vs16.0%) that demonstrates significance (Fig. 4).In addition; In the BRS score and Fagan test of the Bayley inspection when correcting 6 months monthly ages, SM reinforce-milk group is compared (p<0.05:un-paired Student ' s test) that demonstrate significance high value (Bayley85.1vs55.1, Fagan53.4vs48.2) (Fig. 5 and Fig. 6) with matched group.In addition, in VEP inspection, only in SM reinforce-milk group, correct 6 months monthly ages and compared, significance ground incubation period (p<0.05:paired Student ' s test) shortening (3 months: 110.5msec, 6 months: 104.2msec) (Fig. 7) with 3 months.
Can know from these results, through giving infant brain growth accelerant of the present invention, although intravital DHA concentration equate because the difference of phospholipid, can be observed difference thereby form at the myelin of various developmental indexs such as nerve, motion, intelligence and nerve.That is, in milk-derived phospholipid and DHA combination, found high synergy first.
Infant brain growth accelerant of the present invention and the food compositions that is used to improve infant nervimotion and/or learning functionality can reach unknown in the past effect, promptly can improve the growth and the learning functionality of the brain of premature infant, particularly low birth weight infant.Can achieve the goal through absorbing the so very easy method of medicament of the present invention or compositions, and its effect is unexpected.In addition, be easier to obtain, therefore can make medicament with above-mentioned characteristic or food compositions etc. easy and at an easy rate as milk-derived phospholipid, the DHA ratio of raw material.
