The study aimed to investigate the effect of breastfeeding, formula feeding and mix feeding (breastfed plus formula-fed) on the expression level of obesity-predisposing genes including fat mass and obesity-associated ( FTO ), carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1A ( CPT1A ), and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α ( PPAR-α ) in 5- to 6-month-old infants.
