Evaluation of Milk and Lactose Sensitivity in Lactase Non-Persistence Genotypes
Background: Lactase non-persistence, a condition affecting 75% of the world’s population, ischaracterized by inactivity of the lactase enzyme, resulting in lactose intolerance. [...]

Escape from epigenetic silencing of lactase expression is triggered by a single-nucleotide change [PDF]
The importance of subtle gene regulation and epigenetics in determining complex human traits is increasingly being recognized. However, bridging the gaps between environmental, epigenetic and genetic influences and unraveling causal relationships remain ...

Abstract As the number of studies in organic residue analysis (ORA) of ancient pottery—a sensitive but as of today also a destructive method—increases, archaeologists are interested in knowing which samples promise the biggest abundance of analytes in order to avoid unnecessary loss of artefacts.

The Role of Lactose Tolerance in Pre-Colonial Development [PDF]
This paper establishes a link between natural selection since the Neolithic Revolution and economic conditions in the pre-colonial era. The ability to digest milk, or to be lactose tolerant, is conferred by a gene variant, which is unequally distributed ...

Use of the KlADH4 promoter for ethanol-dependent production of recombinant human serum albumine in Kluyveromyces lactis [PDF]
KlADH4 is a gene of Kluyveromyces lactis encoding a mitochondrial alcohol dehydrogenase activity which is specifically induced by ethanol. The promoter of this gene was used for the expression of heterologous proteins in K.

Impact of bacteria and yeast with probiotic properties on performance, digestibility, health status and gut environment of growing pigs in Vietnam [PDF]
This thesis aimed to evaluate the effects of six lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains and Bacillus subtilis H4, Saccharomyces boulardii Sb, and a microbial enzyme mixture, supplemented to basal diets on the performance, diet digestibility, health status ...

Examination of Dietary Patterns and FODMAPs Intake in Patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome [PDF]
Background: There is growing evidence that supports the efficacy of a diet low in fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols (FODMAPs) for symptom management in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

Adaptation of Intestinal Lactase in the Rat
A study was undertaken to adapt intestinal lactase activity in adult rats. After 5 to 8 weeks on a 30% lactose diet, a significant increase in jejunal lactase activity was observed. A similar, but smaller rise was found using a 30% glucose diet.

Association of lactase persistence genotype with milk consumption, obesity and blood pressure:a Mendelian randomization study in the 1982 Pelotas (Brazil) Birth Cohort with a systematic review and meta-analysis. [PDF]
Background: Milk intake has been associated with lower blood pressure (BP) in observational studies, and randomized controlled trials suggested that milk-derived tripeptides have BP-lowering effects.
