Study Notes
- Salivary and pancreatic amylases digest polysaccharides
- Small intestine mucosal lining digests oligosaccharides into monosaccharides
- Disaccharidases are enzymes that produce monosaccharides
- Monosaccharides are absorbed by specific transporters
- Undigested carbohydrates cause osmotic diarrhea in the large intestine
- Bacterial fermentation of compounds produces gas and abdominal discomfort
- Lactose intolerance is the most common deficiency
- Deficiency can be caused by heredity, intestinal disease, malnutrition or drugs
- Lactose intolerance is caused by a lack of lactase
- Carbohydrate degradation deficiency leads to undigested carbohydrates passing into the large intestine
