galactose into glycogen, which it stores.

galactose into its useable form.
These infants have a high level of galactose in their blood because they lack an important enzyme, GALT, which converts
galactose into glucose.
Not exact matches

into glucose, which gets converted
into galactose, and then
into lactose (the sugar found in breast milk).

into glucose and
galactose in the intestines, rather than in the mouth.

into simple sugars: glucose and
galactose.

galactose, bacteria that release glucose
into the product could allow for a reduction in of added sugar while maintaining the desired sweetness in the yogurt.»

into glucose and
galactose for easy digestion.
Digestion breaks down disaccharides
into their component monosaccharides: sucrose to glucose and fructose, for instance, and lactose to glucose and
galactose.
Double sugars (called disaccharides) require splitting
into the single sugars glucose, fructose or
galactose by intestinal wall enzymes.
Lactic acid bacteria can ferment lactose in milk
into glucose and
galactose, and stimulate the secretion of the enzyme lactase in the digestive tract.
Is a critical enzyme in breaking down the complex sugar lactose
into glucose and
galactose.
Your liver destroys old red blood cells, manufactures proteins and blood - clotting agents, manufactures cholesterol, stores glycogen, fats and proteins, converts fats and proteins to carbohydrates and lactic acid to glucose, transforms
galactose (milk sugar)
into glucose, extracts ammonia from amino acids (proteins), converts ammonia to urea, produces bile, stores fat soluble vitamins, converts adipose fat
into ketone bodies, and neutralizes pharmaceuticals and alcohol (14).
Lactose is a «double - sugar» that requires the digestive enzyme lactase to split it apart
into its component parts, glucose and
galactose, so that it can be absorbed in our intestines.
The lactose is converted to
galactose (a blood sugar similar to glucose) and
into glucose itself, which causes the insulin spikes.
Carbohydrates are broken down
into glucose as well as fructose and
galactose units.

into glucose and
galactose, which are both safe sugars.
The intestine secretes an enzyme that splits lactose
into its two principal sugars: glucose and
galactose.
