Disaccharidase activity has been shown to be increased in human diabetics. Diabetics controlled on diet therapy showed no change in disaccharidase activity while two diabetics controlled on insulin or insulin-producing drug, glibenclamide, showed a fall in disaccharidase values toward normal. Possible causes for the increased disaccharidase activity in diabetes are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
