"An attenuated severity of infections is among the well-documented benefits of breast-feeding," commented Mardya Lopez-Alarcon and colleagues at Cornell University in New York state and in Mexico City. "The degree to which this attenuated severity extends to the amelioration of anorexia is understood incompletely, and possible underlying mechanisms have received limited evaluation."

The investigators studied the effects of the diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, and hemophilus influenza (DPTH) vaccine in 23 healthy infants who were either breast-fed (BF) or formula-fed (FF).

The FF infants had a significantly lower energy intake compared with the BF infants (12%; p=0.001) after receiving DPTH vaccination. FF infants also experienced a significant rise in leptin levels compared with BF children (30%; p=0.03).

A rise in interleukin-1beta levels was only weakly correlated with the decrease in energy intake (p=0.08) (Breastfeeding attenuates reductions in energy intake induced by a mild immunologic stimulus represented by DPTH immunization: ...
