TLDR
The hypothesis that s-galactosidase in the fetal intestine is induced by circulating lactose is not supported by the evidence presented.

Intestinal dipeptidases. IV. Studies on the release and subcellular distribution of intestinal dipeptidases of the mucosa cells of the pig.

TL;DR: In this paper, the distribution of dipeptidases in the subcellular fractions of the mucosa cells has been determined, and the activities are located in the supernatant fraction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic test for lactase non-persistence and hydrogen breath test: Is genotype better than phenotype to diagnose lactose malabsorption?

TL;DR: A positive genetic test for lactase non-persistence indicates whether lactase activity decline may represent a clinical problem for the patient, but does not give information on actual patient symptoms.
Journal ArticleDOI

A proposed mechanism of normal intestinal lactase decline in the postweaned mammal.

TL;DR: Evidence is presented to support a proposal that temporally related cytokinetic changes, which effect a generally corresponding reduction in enterocyte life-span, serve as the causal basis of lactase decline in the postweaned mammal.

Maturation of human intestinal lactase-phlorizin hydrolase Generation of the brush border form of the enzyme involves at least two proteolytic cleavage steps

TL;DR: It is proposed that the initial cleavage of proLPH takes place intracellularly at a site further away from Arg868-Ala869, to generate LPH beta initial; LPHbeta is subsequently cleaved extracellularly in the gut lumen, presumably by trypsin, to mature brush border LPH (LPHbeta initial).

Protein Measurement with the Folin Phenol Reagent

TL;DR: Procedures are described for measuring protein in solution or after precipitation with acids or other agents, and for the determination of as little as 0.2 gamma of protein.
Journal ArticleDOI

The digestive function of the epithelium of the small intestine. II. Localization of disaccharide hydrolysis in the isolated brush border portion of intestinal epithelial cells.

TL;DR: The epithelial brush border membrane has been isolated as a morphologically distinct entity from homogenates of intestinal mucosa and found to contain virtually all of the invertase and maltase activities of the unfractionated homogenate.
Journal ArticleDOI

A cytochemical study on the pancreas of the guinea pig. I. Isolation and enzymatic activities of cell fractions.

TL;DR: The incorporation of labelled leucine into the proteins of microsomal subtractions and in those of postmicrosomal fractions was studied comparatively in the pancreas of fasted and fed guinea pigs as well as in the liver and pancrea of fasting animals.
