Serum lipids and proteins in lactose malabsorption.

T Sahi, J Jussila, I M Penttilä

    The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition
    |April 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    Individuals with lactose malabsorption may have lower serum triglyceride levels. This study suggests increased intestinal motility in lactose malabsorption might affect fat absorption, particularly in the Finnish population.

    Area of Science:

    • Nutritional Science
    • Gastroenterology
    • Human Physiology

    Background:

    • Dietary lactose may impact nutrient absorption in lactase-deficient individuals.
    • High carbohydrate intake is linked to elevated serum lipid levels.
    • Understanding the relationship between lactose absorption and lipid profiles is crucial.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate differences in fasting serum lipid and protein concentrations between individuals with and without lactose malabsorption.
    • To explore potential correlations between lactose absorption status and metabolic markers.

    Main Methods:

    • A family study involving 409 subjects from 11 families.
    • Measurement of fasting serum lipids and proteins.
    • Recording of weight, height, and milk consumption, with adjustments for age, sex, and relative weight.

    Main Results:

    • A statistically significant difference in serum triglyceride concentrations was observed between lactose malabsorption and normal lactose absorption groups, after accounting for confounding factors.
    • Individuals with lactose malabsorption had significantly fewer instances of serum triglyceride values exceeding 200 mg/100 ml.
    • No significant differences were found for other measured serum lipid and protein variables.

    Conclusions:

    • Lactose malabsorption may be associated with lower serum triglyceride levels.
    • Hypothesized that increased intestinal motility in lactose malabsorption could impair fat absorption, leading to observed differences.
    • Findings suggest a potential population-specific effect, particularly noted in the Finnish population.
