چکیده
Wright, Ernest M. Genetic Disorders of Membrane Transport. I. Glucose Galactose Malabsorption. Am. J. Physiol. 275 (Gastrointest. Liver Physiol. 38): G879–G882, 1998.—Glucose Galactose Malabsorption is a genetic disorder caused by a defect in glucose and galactose transport across the intestinal brush border. Normally, lactose in milk is broken down into glucose and galactose by lactase, an ectoenzyme on the brush border, and the hexoses are transported into the cell by the Na1-glucose cotransporter SGLT1. The mutations causing the defect in sugar transport have been identified in patients from 33 kindreds, and functional studies have established how these mutations cause the disease.

Introduction Glucose-Galactose Malabsorption (GGM) is an autosomal recessive and rare disorder of intestinal transport of glucose and sodium-glucose cotransporter type (SGLT1). Case Report Our patient is a 32-day-old boy who was examined for severe diarrhea and acidosis and was treated with GGMdiagnosis. A number of laboratory tests were performed on this patient as well as positive test for r...

Jejunal brush border glucose transport was studied in a patient with glucose-galactose malabsorption and in controls, using jejunal brush border membrane vesicles (BBMV) prepared from conventional jejunal biopsies. Whereas BBMV from controls showed a seven-fold enhancement of D-glucose uptake in the presence of an inwardly directed sodium gradient compared with its absence, no such enhancement ...

Glucose transport by jejunal mucosa in vitro and kidney in vivo was investigated in a 3 yr old patient with congenital glucose-galactose malabsorption, her family, and 16 normal volunteers. Glucose transport by normal human jejunal mucosa was concentrative, saturable, sodium and energy dependent, and exhibited competitive inhibition. Biopsy specimens from six normal controls and an asymptomatic...

originally to do the work that developed methods for isolation of highly purified brush-border membranes from biopsy specimens as small as 10-15mg (Schmitz et al., 1973). In one early test, we found no difference in the banding pattern on gel electrophoresis between the brush-border membrane of a normal and a glucose-galactose-malabsorption biopsy. However, our further studies of reconstitution...
