“…Lactose malabsorption is a very common condition, characterized by lactase deficiency. (Arola and Tamm, 1994). However, the rate and efficiency of lactose metabolism is dependent not only on the activity of lactase, but also on the amount of lactose ingested, on the gastrointestinal transit time, visceral sensitivity, the presence of functional gastrointestinal disorders and the capability of the intestinal microflora to ferment lactose (Vesa et al, 2000).…”

“…Lactase activity is determined by lactasephlorizin hydrolase (LCT ), the gene encoding LPH, which has been mapped to chromosome 2q21-22 (8). Its persistence in adult life is of autosomal dominant inheritance (2,9).…”

“…A glicose entra para o pool de glicose do intestino, e a galactose é metabolizada no fígado para ser convertida em glicose, e entrar nesse pool. Caso a galactose não seja metabolizada no fígado, o é pelos eritrócitos, ou é eliminada na urina 56 . A concentração de enzima lactase na mucosa intestinal varia 60 , com atividade no duodeno 40% menor do que no jejuno 61 .…”
