Sentences with phrase «lactase at»

Most mammals stop producing the enzyme lactase at the end of weaning, and become lactose intolerant.

Not exact matches

I work at a public school district in Minnesota, and we are required to provide an alternative (either lactose - reduced milk, milk fortified with lactase, or milk to which lactobacillus acidophilus has been added) for students with lactose intolerance.

The protein which digests the sugar (lactase) may not be able to handle so much milk sugar at one time and the baby will have the symptoms of lactose intolerance — crying, gas, explosive, watery, green bowel movements.

The protein which digests the sugar (lactase) may not be able to handle so much milk sugar at one time and the baby will have the symptoms of lactose intolerance — crying, gas, and explosive, watery, greenish bowel movements.

«Now, we know that epigenetic factors accumulate at a very different pace in each person, depending on the genetic variants of the lactase gene.»

To supply lactase over the long haul, Matthew During and his colleagues at Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia devised a strategy for incorporating the bacterial lactase gene into intestinal cells.

However, at least five populations in Europe, Saudi Arabia and East Africa have developed genetic mutations independently that allow them to produce lactase throughout their entire lives, a condition known as lactase persistence.

Lactase persistence is found at highest frequencies in southern Sweden and in Ireland.

A similar pattern has been observed in humans, where alleles associated with lactase persistence in Europe did not rise to significant frequencies until at least the Bronze Age, that is, 3,000 years after the introduction of pastoral livestock35.

But at some point in the species's evolution the 13,910 * T allele arose in certain European populations, likely conferring lactase persistence.

The strongest signal of selection is at the allele responsible for lactase persistence, supporting the view that an appreciable frequency of lactase persistence in Europe only dates to the past four thousand years.

The selection for lactase persistence in humans happened at least four times, once in Europe and three times in Africa (Tishkoff et al., Nature Genetics 2007 Jan; 39 (1): 31 - 40), and the timing is remarkably correlated with adoption of pastoralism in those parts of the world.

Research performed at Tokyo University in Tokyo, Japan, discovered that the acetic acid found in vinegars inhibits the activity of carbohydrate - digesting enzymes, including sucrase, mastase, lactase and amalase.

We have to take a look at lactase, which is the enzyme that breaks down lactose, which is sugar in milk.

Is it easier on the digestion to use raw goats milk or raw cows milk, and would it be beneficial to use lactase enzyme and any particular probiotics at the same time as introducing kefir?

The action of lactase (the enzyme which breaks lactose down in the small intestine) occurs at a maximum level from birth through early childhood.
