It has been suggested that dietary lactose may reduce the intestinal absorption of fat and protein in individuals with lactase deficiency. On the other hand, it is known that a high carbohydrate diet increases serum lipids. The purpose of this study was to examine whether there are differences in
Individuals suffering from ATH (adult-type hypolactasia), defined by the LCT (gene encoding lactase-phlorizin hydrolase) C/C(-13910) genotype (rs4988235), use less milk and dairy products and may have higher plasma HDL (high-density lipoprotein) and lower triacylglycerol (triglyceride)
OBJECTIVE
The aims of the study were to evaluate the prevalence of hypolactasia in a group of post-menopausal women in Southern Italy, and to relate hypolactasia to possible changes occurring in biochemical indicators of carbohydrate and fat metabolism as well as in biochemical markers of bone
The pathophysiology of cholerrheic enteropathy is described and a series of patients reviewed. Of 11 patients with chronic disabling diarrhea and steatorrhea after ileal resection or bypass, two had recurrent ileitis, three had lactose intolerance and six of those operated on five years or more
BACKGROUND
Observationally, reports on the association between milk intake and risk of ischaemic heart disease (IHD) and myocardial infarction (MI) have produced conflicting results; and no previous large-scale study using the lactase persistent/non-persistent LCT-13910 C/T genotype as a largely
The effects of Giardia lamblia on small bowel function were studied. Thirty-three asymptomatic children were studied before and after treatment with metronidazole (Nimorazol). Patients had a small intestinal biopsy, bile salt determinations, and the following absorptive tests: D-xylose,
The intake of milk has decreased over the past few decades in Western populations and has been replaced by drinks of plant origin. Substitution of cow's milk by vegetable drinks occurs for some reasons, such as the presence of lactose intolerance, reduced calorie intake, prevention of obesity, vegan
Although fructose was discovered in 1794, it was realised in recent decades only that its malabsorption can lead to intestinal symptoms while its excessive consumption induces metabolic disturbances. Fructose is a monosaccharide found naturally in most fruits and vegetables. Dietary intake of
Tropical enteropathy has been described in children and adults that live in developing countries. This disease may be symptomatic or may present without symptoms. We studied 66 patients with tropical enteropathy with special reference to the nutritional status and the intestinal function. The
