  2. Disaccharidase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disaccharidase

    Disaccharidases are glycoside hydrolases, enzymes that break down certain types of sugars called disaccharides into simpler sugars called monosaccharides.In the human body, disaccharidases are made mostly in an area of the small intestine's wall called the brush border, making them members of the group of "brush border enzymes".

  3. Malabsorption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malabsorption

    Excessive flatus and abdominal bloating may reflect excessive gas production due to fermentation of unabsorbed carbohydrate, especially among patients with a primary or secondary disaccharidase deficiency, such as lactose intolerance or sucrose intolerance. Malabsorption of dietary nutrients and excessive fluid secretion by inflamed small ...

  4. Disaccharide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disaccharide

    There are two functionally different classes of disaccharides: Reducing disaccharides, in which one monosaccharide, the reducing sugar of the pair, still has a free hemiacetal unit that can perform as a reducing aldehyde group; lactose, maltose and cellobiose are examples of reducing disaccharides, each with one hemiacetal unit, the other occupied by the glycosidic bond, which prevents it from ...

  5. Inborn errors of metabolism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inborn_errors_of_metabolism

    Inborn errors of metabolism are often referred to as congenital metabolic diseases or inherited metabolic disorders. [2] Another term used to describe these disorders is "enzymopathies". This term was created following the study of biodynamic enzymology , a science based on the study of the enzymes and their products.

  6. Sucrase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sucrase

    With sucrose intolerance, the result of consuming sucrose is excess gas production and often diarrhea and malabsorption. Lactose intolerance is a similar condition that reflects an individual's inability to hydrolyze the disaccharide lactose. Sucrase is secreted by the tips of the villi of the epithelium in the small intestine.

  9. Sucrose intolerance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sucrose_intolerance

    Sucrose intolerance or genetic sucrase-isomaltase deficiency (GSID) is the condition in which sucrase-isomaltase, an enzyme needed for proper metabolism of sucrose (sugar) and starch (e.g., grains), is not produced or the enzyme produced is either partially functional or non-functional in the small intestine. All GSID patients lack fully ...
