Brief Description About The Project
The study will investigate if extreme heat during summer season in India has adverse impact on lactating performance of mother in terms of breast milk volume and quality along with linkage with inflammatory and oxidative stress markers and role of mother's nutrition, subsequently the effects of infant's growth. In addition, in an exploratory component, we also investigate if Omega-3 fatty acid (OFA) supplementation can mitigate heat stress effects by reducing oxidative stress of lactating mother in a small, nested feasibility trial.
