Primary outcomes
The molecules in small extracellular vesicles (exosomes) can transmit information between cells throughout the body. A bout of exercise induces a robust release of exosomes in the plasma with unique molecular cargo. Exosomes are also present in breastmilk, and there is evidence that breastmilk exosomes can evade degradation in the infant gut and can thus transmit molecular information from mother to infant. Though maternal exercise is viewed as beneficial for the breastfeeding infant, the molecular mechanisms of how this occurs remain unknown. The primary objective of this trial will be to determine if a bout of maternal exercise increases the release exosomes in breastmilk. The investigators will measure breastmilk exosome concentration using nano particle tracking.
