  • Title: Absorption of glucose and maltose in congenital glucose-galactose malabsorption.
    Author: Fairclough PD, Clark ML, Dawson AM, Silk DB, Milla PJ, Harries JT.
    Journal: Pediatr Res; 1978 Dec; 12(12):1112-4. PubMed ID: 745864.
    Abstract:
    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.
