  Orphan Europe - Congenital Sucrase-Isomaltase Deficiency (CSID)
CSID is an inherited metabolic disease characterized by a complete or almost complete lack of sucrase and a deficiency of isomaltase actvity.
In the absence of sucrase and isomaltase activity, ingested sucrose (sugar) and isomaltose (type of starch) are not broken down and cannot be absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract.
The deficiency of sucrase activity can be treated by replacing the missing enzyme enabling the products of sucrose hydrolysis, glucose and fructose to be absorbed.

  Sucrose and Sucrase Reactivity
Testing for sucrase’s optimum environment, multiple reactions were ran using varying amounts and concentrations of sucrose and sucrase at different pHs and temperatures.
Therefore the optimum temperature for sucrase is 37 degrees Celsius, the optimum pH is 2.0, and the optimum concentration is 10%.
For the negative control of 2.5% and 10% sucrase a large test tube was prepared with 3ml of the optimum pH buffer from the previous experiment and exposed to the optimum temperature determined from the previous experiment at time zero.

 CSID Primer
Congenital Sucrase-isomaltase Deficiency (CSID) is a chronic malabsorption disease characterised by an autosomal recessive inheritable disease of sucrase and isomaltase deficiency (Hauri, 1985; Kerry, 1965; Naim, 1988; Newton, 1996).
Sucrase is an enzyme produced in the brush border lining of the small intestine and is responsible for the metabolism of sucrose, a disaccharide commonly known as table sugar, into two component monosaccharides, glucose and fructose, which are then absorbed into the circulation (Sterchi, 1990; Treem, 1995)
The absence of sucrase activity in patients as young as four months of age and symptoms in patients with CSID appearing as soon as sucrose is introduced to the diet, support the idea that this deficiency is present at birth.

 Sucrase - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sucrase (also called Invertase) (EC 3.2.1.10, EC 3.2.1.48) is a glycoside hydrolase that catalyzes the hydrolysis of sucrose to fructose and glucose.
The sucrose is hydrolised into glucose and fructose, which are both reducing sugars, and as such will test positive with Benedict's solution.
Sucrose intolerance (also known as Congenital Sucrase-Isomaltase Deficiency (CSID) or Sucrase-isomaltase deficiency) occurs when sucrase is not secreted in the small intestine.

 Clinical Trial: The Effects of L-Arabinose on Intestinal Sucrase Activity in Man
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of L-arabinose in a sugar-rich meal on intestinal sucrase activity in healthy volunteers by measuring postprandial blood glucose and insulin, and selected intestinal hormonal responses to increasing doses of L-arabinose.
One of the arguments is that a high sugar intake may be one of the factors involved in the development of the metabolic syndrome, including overweight, increased blood glucose and insulin levels as well as impaired insulin action.
Potential nutritional advantages of consuming L-arabinose in combination with sucrose may therefore be a delayed digestion of sucrose and a lower absorption of glucose, resulting in both lower blood glucose and insulin levels.

The purpose of the present study was therefore to examine 86 gastric carcinomas histologically and phenotypically using several phenotypic markers, including colon-specific carbonic anhydrase 1 (CA1) and sucrase as small-intestine specific marker.
Of 86 gastric cancers, sucrase and CA1 expression was observed in 12 (14.0%) and only in two cases (2.3%), respectively, associated with other intestinal markers such as villin and mucin core protein (MUC)2.
No association was observed between colonic and small-intestinal phenotypes, and lymph node metastasis and postoperative survival in the advanced gastric cancer cases with intestinal phenotypic expression.
