Morphological method for the diagnosis of human adult type hypolactasia. [PDF]
The primary adult type hypolactasia is the most common form of genetically determined disaccharidase deficiency. This study examined a large and homogeneous population of the south of Italy: surgical biopsy specimens of proximal jejunum from 178 adult subjects have been assayed for disaccharidase activities; the expression of lactase protein and ...

Very low frequency of the lactase persistence allele LCT-13910T in the Armenian population
Primary lactose malabsorption is characterised by a down-regulation of lactase activity after weaning and inability to digest lactose in adulthood. It has been suggested that the historical introduction of dairying led to a positive selection for lactase

Lactose intolerance: Causes, effects, diagnosis and symptom control [PDF]
Lactose intolerance is a very common complaint which leads to a number of distressing gut symptoms in those affected. It can be quite easy to control by reducing milk consumption, and possibly by adding lactase to the diet. However, clinicians should be

Abstract Background and aims: Intestinal adaptation in short bowel syndrome (SBS) includes morphologic processes and functional mechanisms. This study investigated whether digestive enzyme expression in the duodenum and colon is upregulated in SBS patients. Method: Sucrase‐isomaltase (SI), lactase‐phlorizin hydrolase (LPH), and neutral Aminopeptidase N

Excellent agreement between genetic and hydrogen breath tests for lactase deficiency and the role of extended symptom assessment [PDF]
Clinical manifestations of lactase (LCT) deficiency include intestinal and extra-intestinal symptoms. Lactose hydrogen breath test (H2-BT) is considered the gold standard to evaluate LCT deficiency (LD).
