Prevalence of lactase deficiency in British adults.
The prevalence of lactase deficiency in British adults is unknown. Examination of the distribution of lactase activities in single and multiple biopsies of jejunum indicated that 0.8 U/g wet weight was a suitable cut-off point to separate lactase deficient patients from others. One hundred and fifty white British adults were selected, none of whom had significant intestinal disease and all of w...
متن کاملThe biosynthetic basis of adult lactase deficiency.
The intestinal brush-border enzyme lactase splits lactose into its component monosaccharides, glucose and galactose. Relative deficiency of the enzyme during adulthood is a common condition worldwide and is frequently associated with symptoms of lactose intolerance. We studied the synthesis and processing of lactase in normal and adult hypolactasic subjects using human intestinal explants in or...
متن کاملFour novel mutations in the lactase gene (LCT) underlying congenital lactase deficiency (CLD)
BACKGROUND Congenital lactase deficiency (CLD) is a severe gastrointestinal disorder of newborns. The diagnosis is challenging and based on clinical symptoms and low lactase activity in intestinal biopsy specimens. The disease is enriched in Finland but is also present in other parts of the world. Mutations encoding the lactase (LCT) gene have recently been shown to underlie CLD. The purpose of...
متن کامل[Congenital lactase deficiency: Identification of a new mutation].
Although obesity has become a world epidemic, our understanding of this condition in childhood is limited by a lack of representative data from different countries for their comparison, as well as by the different criteria used to define it. The IOTF has developed charts for an international growth standard that allows the comparison of prevalences across the world. There is evidence that the I...
متن کاملOn Scrambling, Another Perspective
We explore the possibility of accounting for scrambling patterns in German using multidimensional grammars. The primary desirable characteristic of this approach is that it employs elementary structures with a single uniform component and combining operations which operate at a single point in the derived structure. As a result, we obtain an analysis that is much closer in spirit to ordinary TA...
