Lactase Enzyme and Milk Sugar

According to the Acu-Cell Nutrition framework, the digestion of dairy products involves specific biochemical interactions within the digestive tract.

  • Enzyme Function: Yes, the brush border enzyme lactase specifically targets and hydrolyzes (cleaves) the disaccharide lactose (milk sugar).
  • Constituent Sugars: This enzymatic cleavage breaks down lactose into its two monosaccharide components:
  • Glucose
  • Galactose
  • Absorption: Once cleaved by the brush border enzymes, these simple sugars can be readily absorbed through the intestinal wall into the bloodstream.
  • Nutritional Consideration: In cases of lactase deficiency or compromised brush border function, this cleavage process is impaired, leading to unabsorbed lactose reaching the large intestine where it can cause gastrointestinal distress.
