  2. Lactose intolerance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactose_intolerance

    Lactose intolerance is the ancestral state of all humans before the recent evolution of lactase persistence in some cultures, which extends lactose tolerance into adulthood. [9] Lactase persistence evolved in several populations independently, probably as an adaptation to the domestication of dairy animals around 10,000 years ago.

    Since both glucose and lactose molecules have an aldehyde group in the open-chain form, the result was positive in both cases. Only the Woehlk test allowed a safe differentiation between glucose and lactose. [4] Thus, a relatively harmless milk congestion could be differentiated from a dangerous gestational diabetes. With lactose, the tested ...

    The patient is then given a small amount of pure lactose (typically 20 to 25 g), and then required to take readings every 15, 30 or 60 minutes for two to three hours. If the level of hydrogen rises above 20 ppm (parts per million) over the lowest preceding value within the test period, the patient is typically diagnosed as a lactose malabsorber ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactose

    Lactose, or milk sugar, is a disaccharide composed of galactose and glucose and has the molecular formula C 12 H 22 O 11.Lactose makes up around 2–8% of milk (by mass). The name comes from lact (gen. lactis), the Latin word for milk, plus the suffix -ose used to name sugars.

  7. IMViC - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMViC

    A coliform is a gram negative, aerobic, or facultative anaerobic rod, which produces gas from lactose within 48 hours. The presence of some coliforms indicate fecal contamination. The term "IMViC" is an acronym for each of these tests. "I" is for indole test; "M" is for methyl red test; "V" is for Voges-Proskauer test, and "C" is for citrate ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D-Xylose_absorption_test

    D-xylose absorption test is a medical test performed to diagnose conditions that present with malabsorption of the proximal small intestine [1] due to defects in the integrity of the gastrointestinal mucosa. [2] D-xylose is a monosaccharide, or simple sugar, that does not require enzymes for digestion prior to absorption. Its absorption ...
