Characterization of GM3 Gangliosides in Human Milk throughout Lactation: Insights from the Analysis with the Use of Reversed-Phase Liquid Chromatography Coupled to Quadrupole Time-Of-Flight Mass Spectrometry
Abstract
Gangliosides are complex lipids found in human milk that play important structural and biological functions. In this study, we utilized reversed-phase liquid chromatography coupled to quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry to evaluate the molecular distribution of GM3 in human milk samples collected at distinct lactation stages, ranging from colostrum to advanced lactation samples. Throughout lactation, GM3 d40:1 emerged as the most abundant GM3 species, except in colostrum, where GM3 d42:2 prevailed. The relative content of GM3 species containing very long N-fatty acyl (N-FA) substituents with >22 carbon atoms decreased, while the content of GM3 species containing 14:0, 18:0, 18:1, and 20:0 N-FA substituents increased in the later months of lactation. These findings highlight the divergence of GM3 profiles across the lactation period. Moreover, considerable interindividual variance was observed among the analyzed samples. The assessment of the GM3 profiles contributes to our understanding of the dynamic composition of human milk.
