Episodes
  • Are the effects of MFGM short-term only, or is there evidence for a long-term benefit?
    May 10 2023

    Renowned professor of pediatric gastroenterology and nutrition, and endowed chair in pediatric research, Fayez K. Ghishan, MD, explains the structural components of milk fat globule membrane (MFGM), highlighting the importance of MFGM bioactive proteins for immune development, as well as the impact on brain and cognitive development from bioactive lipids. Dr. Ghishan shares study results that demonstrate the impact of MFGM beyond infancy, with effects on neurocognitive and brain structure development.
