Evolutionary GEM: Evolution of Lactase Persistence
Western Undergraduate Research Journal: Health and Natural Sciences, 2017 Though humans are known to lose lactase ability post-weaning, some people maintain lactase production into adulthood, a condition known as lactase persistence. Global distribution patterns of lactase persistency are inconsistent; the condition is much more prevalent in some populations than others.

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.

American Journal of Men's Health, 2021 The C/T-13910 LCT is closely associated with lactase persistence and LCT has emerged as a new candidate gene for obesity, in particular in northern Europeans.

PERCC1‐associated enteropathy: Diagnostic challenges and enteral autonomy achieved with teduglutide
JPGN Reports, EarlyView.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 ...

Вавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2017 Retention of lactase activity in adulthood (lactase persistence) is one of the most important adaptive traits for human populations that consume fresh milk from domestic animals.

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 ...

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2007 The C/T-13910 mutation is the major factor responsible for the persistence of the lactase-phlorizin hydrolase (LCT) gene expression. Mutation G/A-22018 appears to be only in co-segregation with C/T-13910.

Association of the rs4988235 in the lactase gene with obesity and its modulation by dairy products in a Mediterranean population [PDF]
, 2011 The -13910C>T polymorphism (rs4988235) upstream from the lactase (LCT) gene, strongly associated with lactase persistence (LP) in Europeans, is emerging as a new candidate for obesity. We aimed to analyze the association of this polymorphism with obesity-

Culture, Agriculture, Food and Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT On the occasion of SAFN's 50th anniversary I reflect on the development of biocultural and human evolutionary approaches to human diet and nutrition. I maintain that SAFN and its predecessors the Committee (1974–1987) and then Council on Nutritional Anthropology (1987–2004) have modeled, fostered, and advanced biocultural work in anthropology ...

Missing Lactase Persistence in Late Iron Age Central Europe
, 2022 Pas de persistance de la lactase en Europe centrale au second Âge du Fer La capacité de digérer le lactose, même après la période d’allaitement, est une propriété relativement récente chez les humains. L’âge calculé pour la mutation déterminante correspond en grande partie à l’introduction de l’économie laitière.
