متن کاملDisaccharidase activities in jejunal fluid.
Jejunal fluid and mucosal tissue were obtained simultaneously from the same jejunal site in a group of 29 children by a modified biopsy procedure. Lactase, maltase, and sucrase activities were measured in both fluid and mucosal specimens using the same analytical method. The fluid enzyme activities showed highly significant positive correlations with the same enzyme activity in the relevant tis...
