We investigated the importance of two enzymes (superoxide dismutase - SOD and glutathione peroxidase - GSH-Px) in the antioxidant defence of newborns and analysed their activity in: human colostrum and milk (from 63 mothers, after normal delivery, without complications or signs of infection), gastric fluid (from 10 breast-fed newborns, 7-28 days after birth; and from 15 artificially-fed newborns, with no signs of infection, 7-28 days after birth), and plasma (from 10 newborns, 1- 28 days old, with no signs of infection, and 10 newborns, 1-28 days old, with signs of neonatal sepsis). The results of the study showed that there was statistically significant increased activity of SOD (p<0.001) in colostrum compared to mature milk. There was no statistically important difference in the activity of GSHPx between those two samples. The activity of SOD in the gastric fluid of the artificially-fed newborns was statistically significantly lower than in the breast-fed newborns (p<0.001). The same results were found for mature mother?s milk. We discovered a significant increase of SOD plasma activity in the newborns with sepsis, compared to the breast-fed newborns, with no signs of infection. The negative correlation between the activities of SOD and GSH-Px in the gastric fluid samples of the breast-fed and the artificially-fed newborns and the newborns with sepsis, showed that the activities of both enzymes were important for adequate antioxidant defence during the neonatal period. Breast-feeding with both colostrum and mature human milk is probably very important for adequate antioxidant defence in newborns.
