It is thought that [disease name] is the result of / is mediated by / is produced by / is caused by either [hypothesis 1], [hypothesis 2], or [hypothesis 3].

OR

[Pathogen name] is usually transmitted via the [transmission route] route to the human host.

OR

Following transmission/ingestion, the [pathogen] uses the [entry site] to invade the [cell name] cell.

The pathophysiology of [disease/malignancy] depends on the histological subtype.

Pathophysiology

Pathogenesis

  • It is thought that lactose intolerance is the result of lactose malabsorption that it is caused by low level of small intestinal lactase ( lactase-phlorizin hydrolase, or LPH)[1]
  • The most important causes of low level of small intestinal lactase are:
    • Mucosal injury
    • Reduced genetic expression of the enzyme lactase-phlorizin hydrolase
  • Lactose is metabolized by intestinal lactase to galactose and glucose in villous enterocytes and then are uptaked by Na+/glucose cotransporter (SGLT1). [2][3]
  • In colon, unabsorbed lactose is converted to hydrogen gas and short chain fatty acids such as acetate, butyrate and propionate by intestinal bacteria and creates symtoms of lactose intolerance.
  • Milk drinkers has greater lactase activity compare with non-drinkers [4]
  • The lactase activity was significantly greater in milk drinkers than non-drinkers. And, internationally, the active is higher in those nationalities whose milk consumption is greater. 3. Lactase is an adaptive enzyme and rather easily induced by lactose load feeding in animals. From the data of our own and of the literature, it was further confirmed that environmental factors play a more important role than genetic factors in the etio-pathogenesis of milk intolerance.
  • / is mediated by / is produced by / is caused by either [hypothesis 1], [hypothesis 2], or [hypothesis 3].
  • it is thought that [disease name] is the result of / is mediated by / is produced by / is caused by either [hypothesis 1], [hypothesis 2], or [hypothesis 3].
  • [Pathogen name] is usually transmitted via the [transmission route] route to the human host.
  • Following transmission/ingestion, the [pathogen] uses the [entry site] to invade the [cell name] cell.
  • [Disease or malignancy name] arises from [cell name]s, which are [cell type] cells that are normally involved in [function of cells].
  • The progression to [disease name] usually involves the [molecular pathway].
  • The pathophysiology of [disease/malignancy] depends on the histological subtype.

Genetics

  • Lactose intolerance is transmitted in an autosomal recessive pattern.[5]
  • Persistence of intestinal lactase until adulthood is inherited as an autosomal-dominant characteristic[6]
  • Gene involved in the pathogenesis of lactose intolerance include polymorphism of the MCM6 ( minichromosome maintenance complex component 6) gene located upstream from the gene lactase-phlorizin hydrolase (LPH) on the long arm (q) of chromosome 2 in region 21(2q21). Lactase persistence is strongly related with presence of the T allele of the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP ) located at -13.9 kb upstream of the lactase gene. This allele regulates lactase mRNA.[7][8]
  • Acquired primary lactase deficiency is associated with a CC genotype at -13.9 kb and lactase persistence is related to TT genotype[9]
  • The development of [disease name] is the result of multiple genetic mutations.

Gross Pathology

Microscopic Pathology

  • On microscopic histopathological analysis, there are no characteristic findings of lactose intolerance.
