Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: Six enzyme activities are needed to digest starch to absorbable free glucose; 2 luminal α-amylases (AMY) and 4 mucosal maltase-glucoamylase (MGAM) and sucrase-isomaltase (SI) subunit activities are involved in the digestion. The AMY activities break down starch to soluble oligomeric dextrins; mucosal MGAM and SI can either directly digest starch to glucose or convert the post-α-amylolytic dextrins to...
