This study was undertaken in order to describe circulating glucose and cholecystokinin (CCK) concentrations in relation to the spontaneous feeding behavior of the human newborn infant. Eighty-three, healthy, 3-days-old infants were studied in connection with breast feeding. Blood samples from the infants were cross-sectionally collected before feeding, 5 and 10 min after the start of sucking, and after the infants had sucked ad libitum. Before feeding, the infants presented a typical "hunger behavior", which changed in connection with breast feeding into a pattern associated with satiety. A significant increase in the plasma CCK concentration was found, 5 min (P = 0.004) and 10 min (P = 0.02) after the start of sucking, as well as after feeding (P = 0.04). Furthermore, a positive correlation between the CCK concentration and the volume of ingested milk was found 10 min after the start of sucking, when 91% of of the volume of milk had been ingested; Rs = 0.51, n = 19, P < 0.02. However, no change was found in the glucose concentration in connection with breast feeding. It is concluded that CCK may be important as a satiety factor in the regulation of food intake in the newborn infant. |
