Genetics of lactose digestion in humans

TL;DR: The development of the intricate mechanisms of lactase synthesis in the mammary gland and of lactose digestion in the intestinal tract would run counter to evolutionary economy if lactose did not convey a special selective advantage during the suckling period.

Cellular Migration of Intestinal Epithelia in Suckling and Weaned Rats

TL;DR: The morphology and enzyme pattern of the small intestine in the suckling differ from that of the adult rat, and therefore it was decided to compare the rate of cellular migration at these different ages by means of incorporation of tritiated thymidine and histo-autoradiography.
Journal ArticleDOI

Isolation of β-galactosidase and β-glucosidase from brain

TL;DR: Attention is drawn to the use of these enzymes for the hydrolysis of glyco-phingolipids by the combined action of both enzymes in brain tissue extracted from brain tissue and separated from each other.
Journal ArticleDOI

The transcriptional repressor Blimp1/Prdm1 regulates postnatal reprogramming of intestinal enterocytes

TL;DR: It is concluded that Blimp1 governs the developmental switch responsible for postnatal intestinal maturation, and key components of the adult enterocyte biochemical signature were substantially and prematurely activated.

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.

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.
