ABSTRACT
Maternal breast milk provides the newborn with passive immunity and stimulates the maturation of the infant immune system. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the vertical transmission of phenolic compounds and their metabolites to offspring in rats fed with extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) during pregnancy and lactation. For this purpose, plasma and lactic serum from dams and plasma from offspring were analyzed by LC-ESI-LTQ-Orbitrap-MS. Both enzymatic and microbial metabolites of hydroxytyrosol and tyrosol were detected in dam plasma and lactic serum. In addition, significant levels of phenolic compounds and their metabolites were found in offspring plasma. The concentration and number of hydroxytyrosol derivatives was higher than those of tyrosol and the microbial metabolites were found in the highest concentration. The observed vertical transmission of EVOO phenolic compounds, whose health benefits are widely reported, provides further support for the importance of the maternal diet during pregnancy and lactation.
