I. A study was made of the partition of the major constituents of rat’s milk during the formation of the clot in the infant rat’s stomach. 2. Milk was obtained from the dams by manual expression after separation from their litters for periods ranging from 12 to 23 h. 3. The ratio of fat to protein in the clots removed from the stomachs of the 11-day-old pups was more than double that found in t...

A sialidase (EC 3.2.1.18) from the non-pathogenic Trypanosoma rangeli, TrSA, has been shown to exert trans-sialidase activity after mutation of five specific amino acids in the active site (M96V, A98P, S120Y, G249Y, Q284P) to form the so-called TrSA5mut enzyme. By computational and hypothesis driven approaches additional mutations enhancing the trans-sialidase activity have been suggested. In t...

This Opinion of the EFSA Panel on Dietetic Products, Nutrition and Allergies (NDA) deals with lactose thresholds in lactose intolerance and galactosaemia. LACTASE DEFICIENCY AND LACTOSE INTOLERANCE: Primary lactase deficiency, also referred to as lactase-nonpersistence (LNP), is genetically determined and a normal, developmental phenomenon characterised by the down-regulation of lactase activit...

Lactose malabsorption is a common condition caused by reduced expression or activity of lactase in the small intestine. In such patients, lactose intolerance is characterized by abdominal symptoms (e.g. nausea, bloating, and pain) after ingestion of dairy products. The genetic basis of lactose malabsorption is established and several tests for this condition are available, including genetic, en...

The only family 1 glycoside hydrolase in Clostridium cellulolyticum H10 (CcGH1) is annotated as a beta-galactosidase but has high sequence homology with many beta-glucosidases. Given the possible importance of beta-glucosidase in cellulose utilization by C. cellulolyticum, the encoding open reading frame Ccel_0374 was cloned and expressed in E. coli as a soluble fusion protein with thioredoxin....

BACKGROUND Lactose intolerance resulting in gastrointestinal symptoms is a common health concern. Diagnosis and management of this condition remain unclear. PURPOSE To assess the maximum tolerable dose of lactose and interventions for reducing symptoms of lactose intolerance among persons with lactose intolerance and malabsorption. DATA SOURCES Multiple electronic databases, including MEDLI...

Plant-based beverages have become very popular in recent emerging markets. Brown rice milk offers several important health benefits because of its various nutritional ingredients such as proteins, carbohydrates, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), and essential vitamins minerals. is also low fats cholesterol free lactose. In this study, japonica brown J02 from Thanh Hoa Province presented high nutr...
