Disaccharides and cystic fibrosis of the pancreas.

TL;DR: Seventeen children with cystic fibrosis of the pancreas have been investigated to determine whether intolerance to disaccharides from ordinary sources in the diet contributes to the gastrointestinal symptoms in this disease.

Effect of Quantitative Undernutrition on the Activities of Intestinal Disaccharidases in the Rat

TL;DR: The activities of intestinal lactase, sucrase, and maltase in rats receiving food of normal composition but in restricted amounts were compared with those of younger, normally fed control rats of equal weight and all three activities were increased in the nutritionally abnormal animals.

Disaccharidase levels in iron deficient rats at birth and during the nursing and postweaning periods: response to iron treatment.

TL;DR: Newborn rats born to iron deficient mothers (IDM) were found to have significantly lower hemoglobin, sucrase, lactase and maltase levels compared to control newborn rats.

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.

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.
