High intestinal lactase concentrations in adult Arbs in Saudi Arabia.
The maximum rise in blood glucose after 50 g lactose by mouth was determined in 40 adult Arabs. Out of 30 Bedouin, urban Saudi, and Yemeni and 9 of mixed ancestry (usually partly African), 25 (83%) and 2 (22%) respectively showed an increase of over 1-1 mmol/1 (20 mg/100 ml). In common with most northern Europeans and Hamitic people of northern Africa, Arabs in Saudi Arabia usually have high in...
متن کاملNeonatal intestinal lactase activity.
The sequential changes in intestinal lactase activity of 40 neonates were measured indirectly from the differential uptake and excretion of lactose and the non-metabolisable disaccharide lactulose contained in formula feeds. A daily decline in urinary lactose:lactulose excretion ratios, reflecting a rise in intestinal lactase activity, followed formula feeding. Percentage decline was related di...
متن کاملThe Lactase Activity of the Intestinal Mucosa of the Dog and Some Characteristics of Intestinal Lactase
The early work on intestinal lactase has been reviewed by Plimmer (1906) and Oppenheimer (1925). No uniformity of opinion was reached regarding the presence and dist,ribution of this enzyme in the intestinal mucosa or in intestinal juice. Without attempting to review these investigations again, it suffices to state that some authors found lactase in the small intestine of young animals. Others ...
متن کاملHigh Levels of Cardiovascular Risk Factors among Pakistanis in Norway Compared to Pakistanis in Pakistan

متن کاملImproved purification of rat intestinal lactase.
A rapid and improved method to obtain purified lactase from rat intestine is described. The purification procedure involved only two chromatographic steps. The degree of purification was far above (500 fold) the values reached with classical methods. Rabbit antisera raised to the purified lactase were characterized using conventional immunological techniques. The specificity of the lactase anti...
