“…It is not known how long these abnormalities will persist or whether lactase is more permanently affected than the other enzymes. The disproportionate lactase deficiency may be due to genetic factors in addition to the influence of malnutrition and infection (Cook, Lakin, and Whitehead, 1967). The severe depression of lactase activity correlates well with the clinical evidence of lactose intolerance.…”

“…This invasive technique was used by Cook et al . 29 to illustrate a significant decrease in the absorption of lactose and glucose + galactose in children with SAM compared with healthy subjects. Using the same technique, James 17 also observed a much lower absorption of all carbohydrates in malnourished children.…”

“…In a study conducted among various tribal groups in East Africa (Cook and Kajubi, 1966) and those of the Hamitic peoples. These results were confirmed by in testinal biopsies and subsequent studies of members of the same tribe (Cook, 1967;Cook et al_., 1967;Cook and Howels, 1968;Cook and Dahlqvist, 1968).…”
