چکیده
Kumar, V., Ghai, 0. P., and Chase, H. P. (1971). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 46, 801. Intestinal dipeptide hydrolase activities in undernourished children. Intestinal dipeptide hydrolase enzymes cleave dipeptides into amino acids. In 8 undernourished children with diarrhoea, mean intestinal mucosal glyclyl-proline hydrolase activity was reduced 40%, valyl-proline hydrolase activity 38%, and alkaline phosphatase activity 54%, as compared with 4 controls. The use of hydrolysed proteins or simple amino acid mixtures in the initial treatment of undernourished children is suggested.

Similarities between a dipeptide hydrolase from brush-border and cytosol fractions of guinea-pig intestinal mucosa.
A dipeptide hydrolase from the brush border of guinea-pig intestinal mucosa was purified. The enzyme resembles another dipeptide hydrolase isolated from the cytosol fraction of intestinal mucosa. Studies on the binding of cytosol peptide hydrolase to brush-border membranes indicate that the enzyme found in the brush border may be a cytoplasmic contaminant.
متن کاملChanges in absorptive and peptide hydrolase activities in rat small intestine after administration of 5-fluorouracil.
1. Glucose absorption, water absorption and dipeptide hydrolase activities have been determined in isolated rat small intestine at 1, 3, 5 and 21 days after a single intraperitoneal injection of 5-fluorouracil. 2. Absorption rates and enzyme activities were elevated 1 day after treatment, but were reduced to 40% of control values at 3 and 5 days. Changes were seen regardless of whether absorpti...
متن کاملThe Journal of Nutrition Nutrient Requirements and Optimal Nutrition Lysine Requirements of Moderately Undernourished School-Aged Indian Children Are Reduced by Treatment for Intestinal Parasites as Measured by the Indicator Amino Acid Oxidation Technique
Background: Lysine requirements of well-nourished children from developing regions have been found to be similar to those of children from developed regions (33.5 mg kg d). However, intestinal parasites have been shown to increase lysine requirements in undernourished adults, and it is not known if a similar phenomenon occurs in undernourished children from poor and unsanitary environments. Obj...
متن کاملUndernourished Children and Milk Lactose.
BACKGROUND Lactose is an important energy source in young mammals, and in fully breast-fed human infants, it constitutes around 40% of the total daily energy intake. The role of lactose in feeding of undernourished infants and young children is not well described. OBJECTIVE A narrative review of the potential positive and negative effects of lactose in the treatment of undernourished children...
متن کاملMucosal peptide hydrolase and brush-border marker enzyme activities in three regions of the small intestine of rats with experimental uraemia.
1. The activities of nine peptide hydrolases and three non-peptidase brush-border marker enzymes have been quantified in crude homogenates prepared from the proximal, mild and distal regions of small-intestinal mucosa for sham-operated (n = 9) and uraemic (n = 14) rats. Abnormalities in enzyme activities were observed in all regions studied in the uraemic group, although no reduction in food in...
