Question
1. A child was admitted to the clinic with diarrhea after feeding on milk. To
determine the diagnosis, a lactosc tolerance test was conducted. The test
solution contained 50 grams of lactose and was taken on an empty stomach.
Blood glucose levels were measured regularly over the next two hours- 30,
60 and 90 min after test solution and it turned out that the blood glucose
concentration was increased slightly. Present the possible reasons for the results,
argue them. For this:
a) write a reaction of lactose digestion in the intestine, specify the enzyme;
b) explain why the blood glucose concentration was not increased;
c) indicate the molecular mechanisms of the monosaccharide transport to the
small intestine cells and answer whether the violation of their absorption can
lead to these symptoms.
