Glucose-galactose malabsorption (GGM) is a rare inherited metabolic disorder that prevents the body from absorbing two simple sugars: glucose and galactose. Glucose-galactose malabsorption (GGM ...

Glucose-galactose malabsorption (GGM) is a rare metabolic condition. It occurs when a genetic variation makes the body unable to properly absorb the simple sugars glucose and galactose.

THREE naturally occurring aldohexoses—glucose, mannose and galactose—can readily be differentiated by the following method. Add 2 mgm. of the unknown sugar material to a solution of ...
