RRR-α-T is the predominant stereoisomer in human milk, concentrations of synthetic 2R stereoisomers were notable, and the relation between milk total α-T and stereoisomer profile is complex. Due to the wide range found in milk α-T stereoisomer profile, investigation into its impact on α-T status and functional outcomes in breastfed infants is warranted.
