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).

Standard and Specialized Infant Formulas in Europe: Making, Marketing, and Health Outcomes [PDF]
, 2019 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 ...

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.

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.

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,

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

Gut microbiome‐derived metabolites show promise in cancer research and therapy
Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.The metabolites produced by the gut microbiome, which are subject to regulation by multiple factors, play a pivotal role in the progression of various types of cancer. These metabolites not only function as potential biomarkers for the early detection and monitoring of tumor development, but also actively participate in cancer therapeutic processes ...
