Glucose-galactose malabsorption (GGM) is a very rare inherited genetic condition, with only approximately 300 cases worldwide. GGM is also sometimes known as SGLT1 deficiency.

Glucose-galactose malabsorption describes a condition where a person cannot absorb these simple sugars. Due to a genetic alteration, a person does not produce the SGLT1 protein, which helps the ...

Galactose after growth: Why one early-life sugar might be overstaying its welcome, By Mukaila Kareem In simple terms, galactose that once built the brain may, over time, contribute to its wear and ...

Galactose-α-1,3-galactose—informally called α-gal—is a disaccharide that is found in the cell membranes of most mammals, but not in humans or some other primates. It does not occur in birds, reptiles, ...

14C-1-D-galactose was rapidly taken up by excised corn root-tips and efficiently converted to hexose units in cell wall polysaccharides. The label recovered in both hydrolysed pectin and hemicellulose ...
