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.

World-wide distributions of lactase persistence alleles and the complex effects of recombination and selection

Human Genetics, 2017
The genetic trait of lactase persistence (LP) is associated with at least five independent functional single nucleotide variants in a regulatory region about 14 kb upstream of the lactase gene [−13910*T (rs4988235), −13907*G (rs41525747), −13915*G ...

Lactase Deficiency and Lactose Intolerance: Current Understanding and Future Directions

Journal of Education, Health and Sport
Introduction 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.

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,

Assessment of lactase activity in humans by measurement of galactitol and galactonate in serum and urine after milk intake

American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2019
Background Lactase is an enzyme that hydrolyzes lactose into glucose and galactose in the small intestine, where they are absorbed. Hypolactasia is a common condition, primarily caused by genetic programming, that leads to lactose maldigestion and, in ...

LACTASE DEFICIENCY IN BABIES AND INFANTS

Вопросы современной педиатрии, 2006
Lactose, the constituent disaccharide of milk and other dairy products, is an important nutrient in early childhood. Lactase breaks down lactose in small intestine. In most people the activity of lactase reduces with age.

Lactase non-persistence is directed by DNA variation-dependent epigenetic aging

Nature Structural &Molecular Biology, 2016
The inability to digest lactose, due to lactase nonpersistence, is a common trait in adult mammals, except in certain human populations that exhibit lactase persistence.

Mutations in the Translated Region of the Lactase Gene (LCT) Underlie Congenital Lactase Deficiency [PDF]

The American Journal of Human Genetics, 2006
Congenital lactase deficiency (CLD) is a severe gastrointestinal disorder characterized by watery diarrhea in infants fed with breast milk or other lactose-containing formulas. We initially assigned the CLD locus by linkage and linkage disequilibrium on 2q21 in 19 Finnish families.

Term infant formula macronutrient composition: An update for clinicians

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Protein, carbohydrates, and fats comprise the macronutrient components of infant formulas. While all infant formulas in the United States meet specific nutrition standards, the macronutrient composition of formulas is diverse. Each macronutrient in the formula may play a role in treating or managing the disease.

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
