In many humans the enzyme lactase, which digests the milk sugar lactose to galactose and glucose, disappears from the intestinal mucosal cells after age 4 to 6, when milk drinking usually decreases. This causes lactose intolerance, a condition in which ingestion of milk or lactose-containing milk products causes intestinal distress, because of bacterial action on the lactose that accumulates. 

Although insulin rises in a sufficient manner in all patients it declines slowly toward baseline (fig.4) and the rate of glucose disappearance is in the range of latent diabetes (table 1). Glucose ingestion (fig 5) is followed by extreme overproduction of insulin in uric acid (HS 90-120 min, 111 /lU/ml) and oxalic stones directing attention upon inte-...

Finding higher glucose disappearance rates following a second dose of glucose immediately upon completion of the first test, Bowie et al (1963) suggested that delayed glucose disappearance was at least in part due to deficient insulin release to the initial load.
