Evolution of the human fear-circuitry and acute sociogenic pseudoneurological symptoms: The Neolithic balanced-polymorphism hypothesis [PDF]
In light of the increasing threat of large-scale massacres such as terrorism against non-combatants (civilians), more attention is warranted not only to posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) but also to acute sociogenic pseudoneurological ("conversion ...

Lactase deficiency in children and the choice of therapeutic nutrition
Background. Lactose is the main carbohydrate in breast milk, dairy products and is important for human physiology. Lactase deficiency is a term that is used to describe pathological conditions caused by a decrease in lactase levels (hypolactasia) or a ...

Standard and Specialized Infant Formulas in Europe: Making, Marketing, and Health Outcomes [PDF]
Infant formulas are the only suitable substitute for human milk. The most common infant formulas are standard formulas based on cow's milk. In addition, there are formulas for infants showing signs and symptoms of intolerance and for clinical conditions ...

Meta-analysis of lactase phenotypes on obesity, metabolic syndrome and milk consumption
Background The variability in lactose digestion ability is categorised into lactase persistence and lactase non-persistence phenotypes, primarily determined by the 13 910 C>T single nucleotide polymorphism (rs4988235).

Lactase Deficiency and Lactose Intolerance: Current Understanding and Future Directions
Introduction and purpose: Lactose, the primary carbohydrate in milk, requires the enzyme lactase for digestion. Deficiency in lactase activity leads to lactose intolerance, causing gastrointestinal symptoms.

Impact of selection and demography on the diffusion of lactase persistence. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:The lactase enzyme allows lactose digestion in fresh milk. Its activity strongly decreases after the weaning phase in most humans, but persists at a high frequency in Europe and some nomadic populations.

Levels of disaccharidases in the brush border membrane of equine small intestine [PDF]
The disaccharides, consisting of sucrose, lactose and maltose, are hydrolysed into monosaccharides (D-glucose, D-galactose and D-fructose) by intestinal brush border enzymes: sucrase, lactase and maltase.

Demonstration of lactase activity in culture medium of melon cells
Lactase activity was detected in a culture medium of the cell suspension culture of watermelon (Citrullus vulgaris L.). A simple, rapid and reproducible procedure for identification of extracellular lactase is described using callus cultures of seedlings
