Modulation of Lactase Expression by a New PPARgamma Ligand in Duodenal Biopsies

October 12, 2018 updated by: University Hospital, Lille

Modulation of Lactase Expression by a New Synthetic PPARgamma Ligand in Ex-vivo Cultures of Duodenal Biopsies

This study is designed to assess the effect of a new PPARgamma modulator on the expression and activity of the lactase enzyme in human intestinal epithelial cells. Based on their previous experimental results, the investigators hypothesized that modulating intestinal PPARgamma activity is a new pharmacological mechanism allowing the control of lactase expression and activity in the gut

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Lactase expression induction by GED
Four duodenal biopsies will be collected. Two biopsies will stimulated with GED (PPARgamma modulator) ex vivo during 6 hours. Two biopsies will be unstimulated (control).

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures
