Diversity of lactase persistence in African milk drinkers [PDF]

, 2015
The genetic trait of lactase persistence is attributable to allelic variants in an enhancer region upstream of the lactase gene, LCT. To date, five different functional alleles, -13910*T, -13907*G, -13915*G, -14009*G and -14010*C, have been identified ...

Dairy Intake and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Iranian Older Adults: Insights From the Baseline Phase of the Birjand Longitudinal Aging Study

Endocrinology, Diabetes &Metabolism, Volume 9, Issue 3, May 2026.
Among 1348 Iranian adults aged ≥ 60 years in the BLAS baseline, total dairy intake showed no clear association with prevalent T2DM (adjusted OR: 1.42, p = 0.05). Higher yogurt (OR: 1.48–1.54) and cheese (OR: 1.44) intakes were linked to greater odds, whereas milk was not.

The Use of Purple Eggplant Fruit Calyx Stem (Solanum melongena L.) as an Alternative Source of Lactase-Producing Lactic Acid Bacteria

Biotropika: Journal of Tropical Biology
Lactose intolerance is a condition where the body cannot digest lactose due to a deficiency of the lactase enzyme in the digestive system, leading to various health issues and indirectly increasing the risk of stunting.

Enhanced Bioactivity of Puerariae Radix‐ Hovenia Seed Extracts Through Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and Lacticaseibacillus paracasei Co‐Fermentation: Impact on Alcoholic Liver Injury and Macrophage Polarization

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
Puerariae Radix and Hovenia Seed were co‐fermented with Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and Lacticaseibacillus paracasei to produce PHF. In a mouse model of alcohol‐induced liver injury, PHF intervention alleviated liver damage. The underlying mechanism may be related to the regulation of macrophage polarization.

Very low frequency of the lactase persistence allele LCT-13910T in the Armenian population

Annals of Human Biology, 2022
Primary lactose malabsorption is characterised by a down-regulation of lactase activity after weaning and inability to digest lactose in adulthood. It has been suggested that the historical introduction of dairying led to a positive selection for lactase

PERCC1‐associated enteropathy: Diagnostic challenges and enteral autonomy achieved with teduglutide

JPGN Reports, Volume 7, Issue 2, Page 266-270, May 2026.
Abstract Congenital diarrheas and enteropathies (CODE) are rare inherited disorders characterized by early‐onset intractable diarrhea. Though progress has been made in elucidating the genetic basis of CODE, much remains to be discovered. Another challenge is the lack of curative therapies—treatment is primarily supportive including enteral and ...

Phylogenetic analysis of the evolution of lactose digestion in adults [PDF]

, 1997
In most of the world's population the ability to digest lactose declines sharply after infancy, High lactose digestion capacity in adults is common only in populations of European and circum-Mediterranean origin and is thought to be an evolutionary ...
