Cover Story: Breastfeeding has positive impacts on reducing obesity risk, which is likely due to the N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) of breast milk. In this study, metagenomic and targeted metabolomic analyses were performed to illustrate the association between breast milk Neu5Ac and infant growth with two independent Chinese breast milk cohorts. The results showed that breast milk Neu5Ac altered infant gut microbiota and bile acid metabolism, and correlated with infant growth. Taurodeoxycholic acid 3-sulfate and taurochenodeoxycholic acid 3-sulfate were correlated with high breast milk Neu5Ac and low obesity risk in infants. Parabacteroides might be linked to bile acid metabolism and act as a mediator between Neu5Ac and infant growth. Overall, our data showed the gut microbiota-dependent crosstalk between breast milk Neu5Ac and infant growth. View this paper
