Hypolactasia and metabolic changes in post-menopausal women
Maturitas, 1997The aims of the study were to evaluate the prevalence of hypolactasia in a group of post-menopausal women in Southern Italy, and to relate hypolactasia to possible changes occurring in biochemical indicators of carbohydrate and fat metabolism as well as in biochemical markers of bone metabolism.Fifty post-menopausal women entered the study.

Diagnosis of Hypolactasia and Lactose Malabsorption
Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology, 1994The article briefly describes the various methods that are available for diagnosing hypolactasia. Special attention is drawn to the fact that different methods are useful at different levels of the health care organization. When the test result indicates lactose malabsorption, general malabsorption should be excluded by a glucose-galactose tolerance ...

Hypolactasia and the Chinese Diet
Current Anthropology, 2002Compte tenu de la diversite du regime alimentaire des Chinois, il peut paraitre etonnant qu'ils aient porte si peu d'interet au lait. Des sources anciennes attestant que le lait d'animaux domestiques ne leur etait pas inconnu, deux interrogations intrigantes se posent : 1. Pourquoi les anciens Chinois n'ont-ils pas developpe l'elevage laitier ?

Clinical Picture of Hypolactasia and Lactose Intolerance
Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology, 1994Selective adult-type hypolactasia, the main cause of primary malabsorption of lactose, shows considerable variation in terms of its symptoms, which mainly depend on the amount of milk consumption. The article discusses congenital lactase deficiency and familial lactose intolerance.

Genetic testing for adult-type hypolactasia in Italian families
Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine, 2008Adult-type hypolactasia is characterized by the inability to digest lactose during adulthood, due to lactase (LCT) deficiency. It is usually diagnosed by the measurement of breath hydrogen increase after a lactose load (breath hydrogen test, BHT). A substitution of C to T at position -13910 bp upstream the LCT gene (rs4988235), in a regulatory region ...

Radiological assessment of hypolactasia in ulcerative colitis
The British Journal of Radiology, 1969Abstract Using a radiological method we have found the incidence of hypolactasia in an unselected series of ulcerative colitis patients to be 7·9 per cent. We do not believe this to be higher than the incidence in a normal population. We have found the lactose-barium meal to be a simple out-patient screening test for hypolactasia.

Use of genetic testing for hypolactasia trait in the North Denmark Region
Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology, 2020Lactose intolerance (LI) may be considered in patients with unspecific gastrointestinal symptoms, but there is no clear consensus on when and how to diagnose the disorder. The LCT-13910 CC genotype is associated with acquired primary lactase deficiency (adult-type hypolactasia; ATH).

Late-onset hypolactasia in Hong Kong school children
Annals of Tropical Paediatrics, 1991Three hundred and twenty Chinese school children aged between 6 and 19 years from six schools in Hong Kong were tested for their lactose digestion status. After an overnight fast, the children were challenged with cow's milk, 5 ml/kg bodyweight (i.e. lactose approximately 0.25 g/kg).

Genetics and Epidemiology of Adult-type Hypolactasia
Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology, 1994The prevalence of adult-type hypolactasia varies from less than 5% to almost 100% between different populations of the world. The lowest prevalence has been found in northwestern Europe, around the North Sea, and the highest prevalence in the Far East. The reason for the variation is that selective (primary) hypolactasia is genetically determined by an

Adult-type hypolactasia in children: A genetic perspective
Journal of Pediatric Biochemistry, 2016Adult-type hypolactasia is an autosomal recessive condition resulting from the physiological decline of the lactase enzyme activity in intestinal cells which occurs in a significant proportion of the global population. Mechanisms proposed to explain the occurrence of adult-type hypolactasia include: (a) decreased production of lactase, (b) synthesis of
