Lactase restriction and lactase persistence: a study of sri lankans and a paediatric population [PDF]

, 1990
Lactase is an enzyme, located on the small intestinal brush border, that hydrolyses the disaccharide lactose into its monosaccharides glucose and galactose, which are then absorbed.

Spatial‐Scale Evolutionary Bias Sheds Light on the Latitudinal Diversity Gradient

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Using Escherichia coli as a model species, our experimental findings reveal that populations in high‐fitness‐gain geographic regions undergo rapid expansion, competitively excluding populations from low‐fitness‐gain regions. This results in adaptive evolution that is biased toward areas with higher fitness potential.

Polymorphism in the oxytocin promoter region in patients with lactase non-persistence is not related to symptoms

BMC Gastroenterology, 2009
Background Oxytocin and the oxytocin receptor have been demonstrated in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and have been shown to exert physiological effects on gut motility. The role for oxytocin in the pathophysiology of GI complaints is unknown.

Plackett-Burman design for screening of process components and their effects on production of lactase by newly isolated Bacillus sp. VUVD101 strain from Dairy effluent

Beni-Suef University Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences, 2018
In the present investigation, a low-cost fermentation medium was designed to achieve the maximum production of lactase from the Bacillus sp. VUVD101 strain through the screening of different nutritional and physical variables, using the Plackett-Burman ...

The gut microbiome organ

iMeta, Volume 5, Issue 4, August 2026.
The gut microbiome can be conceptualized as a distributed organ‐like functional system with spatially structured organization, broad biochemical capacity, and continuous bidirectional communication with the host. By transforming dietary, host‐derived, and environmental substrates into bioactive metabolites with endocrine‐like, immunomodulatory, and ...

Gums induced microstructure stability in Ca(II)-alginate beads containing lactase analyzed by SAXS.

Carbohydrate Polymers, 2018
Previous works show that the addition of trehalose and gums in β-galactosidase (lactase) Ca(II)-alginate encapsulation systems improved its intrinsic stability against freezing and dehydration processes in the pristine state.

Long‐term outcomes of gastric bypass surgery in two Lusitano foals: Contemporary evidence for surgical decision‐making

Equine Veterinary Education, Volume 38, Issue 8, Page e509-e515, August 2026.
Summary Gastric outflow obstruction (GOO) occasionally requires surgical intervention in foals when medical management fails. Current literature lacks consensus on several surgical decisions, with most comprehensive reports dating back over a decade. Critical aspects—including jejunal loop orientation and necessity of jejunojejunostomy—remain debated ...

In vitro digestion and lactase treatment influence uptake of quercetin and quercetin glucoside by the Caco-2 cell monolayer

Nutrition Journal, 2005
Background Quercetin and quercetin glycosides are widely consumed flavonoids found in many fruits and vegetables. These compounds have a wide range of potential health benefits, and understanding the bioavailability of flavonoids from foods is becoming ...

Chronic, but not acute, treatment with GLP‐2 and GIP in combination increases glucose absorption in the isolated vascularly perfused rat intestine

Physiological Reports, Volume 14, Issue 16, August 2026.
Chronic GLP‐2 + GIP treatment increases glucose absorption. Abstract The gut hormones, glucagon‐like peptide‐2 (GLP‐2) and glucose‐dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), may be important regulators of intestinal nutrient absorption. Using the isolated vascularly perfused rat intestine of male rats, we investigated the chronic and subacute ...
