Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) experience symptoms (e. g. abdominal pain, bloating, or diarrhoea) that could be partially due to food intolerances or malabsorption.

Association between increased plasma levels of homocysteine and depression observed in individuals with primary lactose malabsorption. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:Current literature proposes associations between homocysteine (HCY), folic acid (FA), vitamin B12 metabolism and depression. However, the exact underlying biological mechanisms remain unclear.

In Vitro Functional Analyses of Infrequent Nucleotide Variants in the Lactase Enhancer Reveal Different Molecular Routes to Increased Lactase Promoter Activity and Lactase Persistence [PDF]
The genetic trait that allows intestinal lactase to persist into adulthood in some 35% of humans worldwide operates at the level of transcription, the effect being caused by cis-acting nucleotide changes upstream of the lactase gene (LCT).
