Baohe pill decoction treats diarrhea induced by high-fat and high-protein diet by regulating lactase-producing bacteria in intestinal mucosa

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
IntroductionThis study aimed to investigate the effects of Baohe pill decoction (BPD) on microbial, lactase activity, and lactase-producing bacteria in the intestinal mucosa of mice with diarrhea induced by high-fat and high-protein diet (HFHPD ...

Lactase bacteria in intestinal mucosa are associated with diarrhea caused by high-fat and high-protein diet

BMC Microbiology, 2022
Background Excessive fat and protein in food can cause diarrhea by disturbing the intestinal microecology. Lactase is a functional enzyme strongly associated with diarrhea, while lactase bacteria in the intestine are an important source of microbial ...

Effect of lactase on symptoms and hydrogen breath levels in lactose intolerance: A crossover placebo‐controlled study

JGH Open, 2021
Background and Aim The absence of lactase in the intestinal villi due to mucosal injury or genetic factors causes undigested lactose to reach the colon where it is fermented.

Meta-analysis of lactase phenotypes on obesity, metabolic syndrome and milk consumption [PDF]

BMJ Nutrition, Prevention & Health
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).

Community based countrywide analysis of lactase persistence related genetic variants and their correlation with digestive symptoms in Libya. [PDF]

PLOS Global Public Health
Lactose intolerance is a complex symptomatic response to lactose maldigestion that is influenced by, but not strictly determined by, the down- regulation of the enzyme lactase.

Association between functional lactase variants and a high abundance of Bifidobacterium in the gut of healthy Japanese people. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Previous studies have shown that Japanese people exhibit a higher abundance of Bifidobacterium compared to people from other countries. Among the possible factors affecting the gut microbiota composition, an association of functional lactase gene ...

Differences in DNA Methylation and Functional Expression in Lactase Persistent and Non-persistent Individuals

Scientific Reports, 2018
In humans the expression of lactase changes during post-natal development, leading to phenotypes known as lactase persistence and non-persistence. Polymorphisms within the lactase gene (LCT) enhancer, in particular the −13910C > T, but also others, are ...
