Figure 1. In the presence of an adequate amount of lactase, lactose is hydrolysed into galactose (Gal) and glucose (Glu), which are rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream, together with H2O molecules (modified from [5]).

Descrizione

Schematic showing the enzymatic hydrolysis of lactose by lactase into galactose and glucose, which are then absorbed into the bloodstream. In lactase-sufficient individuals, this process occurs efficiently in the small intestinal brush border.
