Absorption of glucose and maltose in congenital glucose-galactose malabsorption. 1978

An intestinal perfusion technique has been used to study absorption of glucose from free glucose and the disacchairde maltose in a patient with congenital glucose-galactose malabsorption. Minimal absorption of glucose occurred from high luminal concentrations of either free glucose (100 mmole/liter) or maltose (50 mmole/liter). Glucose diffused into the intestinal lumen during perfusion of a 2 mmole/liter glucose solution. These observations offer no support for nutritionally important glucose absorption in congenital glucose-galactose malabsorption by either passive diffusion or via a "disaccharidase-related" transport system.

D005690 Galactose An aldohexose that occurs naturally in the D-form in lactose, cerebrosides, gangliosides, and mucoproteins. Deficiency of galactosyl-1-phosphate uridyltransferase (GALACTOSE-1-PHOSPHATE URIDYL-TRANSFERASE DEFICIENCY DISEASE) causes an error in galactose metabolism called GALACTOSEMIA, resulting in elevations of galactose in the blood.
