Meta-analysis of lactase phenotypes on obesity, metabolic syndrome and milk consumption
BMJ Nutrition, Prevention & HealthBackground 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).

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2017 Lactase non-persistence (leading to primary lactose intolerance) is a genetically dependent inability to digest lactose in adulthood. As part of the human adaptation to dairying, the human lactase LCT-13910C/T mutation (which propagates adult expression ...

Lactase Deficiency and Lactose Intolerance: Current Understanding and Future Directions
Journal of Education, Health and SportIntroduction 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]
PLoS ONE, 2009 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.

Frontiers in Genetics, 2020 Among people of European descent, the ability to digest lactose into adulthood arose via strong positive selection of a highly advantageous allele encompassing the lactase gene. Lactose-tolerant and intolerant individuals may have different disease risks

Levels of disaccharidases in the brush border membrane of equine small intestine [PDF]
Iraqi Journal of Veterinary Sciences, 2020 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
Horticultural Science, 2004 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

Production of HPMC-films for lactase administration [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2020 The present work aimed to develop and characterize HPMC-films (HFs) based on hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) with the addition of lactase for later application in the reduction of lactose in whole milk. The HFs were produced by the casting technique,

Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, EarlyView.Abstract Clinicians face a paucity of evidence‐based recommendations for provision of enteral nutrition in infants born <750 g or <25 weeks’ gestation, termed “nano‐preterm.” Current enteral nutrition recommendations for extremely low birth weight infants may not be broadly applicable to nano‐preterm infants due to physiological and developmental ...

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.Our understanding of the recolonization of northwest Europe in the period leading up to the Lateglacial Interstadial relies heavily on discoveries from Gough's Cave (Somerset, UK). Gough's Cave is the richest Late Upper Palaeolithic site in the British Isles, yielding an exceptional array of human remains, stone and organic artefacts, and butchered ...
