Sentence | Compound Name | Protein Name | Organism |
| 1 | Mammalian mucosal alpha-glucosidases coordinate with alpha-amylase in the initial starch hydrolysis stage to have a role in starch digestion beyond glucogenesis. | Starch | alpha-amylase | Zea mays |
| 2 | Mammalian mucosal alpha-glucosidases coordinate with alpha-amylase in the initial starch hydrolysis stage to have a role in starch digestion beyond glucogenesis. | Starch | alpha-amylase | Zea mays |
| 3 | Starch digestion in the human body is typically viewed in a sequential manner beginning with alpha-amylase and followed by alpha-glucosidase to produce glucose. | Starch | alpha-amylase | Zea mays |
| 4 | The aim of this study was to investigate how the mucosal alpha-glucosidases act with alpha-amylase to digest granular starch. | Starch | alpha-amylase | Zea mays |
| 5 | alpha-Amylase combined with the mucosal alpha-glucosidases in the intestinal extract showed higher glucogenesis as expected, but also higher maltooligosaccharide amounts indicating an overall greater degree of granular starch breakdown. | Starch | alpha-amylase | Zea mays |
| 6 | Direct digestion of granular starch by mammalian recombinant mucosal alpha-glucosidases was observed which shows that these enzymes may work either independently or together with alpha-amylase to digest starch. | Starch | alpha-amylase | Zea mays |
| 7 | Thus, mucosal alpha-glucosidases can have a synergistic effect with alpha-amylase on granular starch digestion, consistent with a role in overall starch digestion beyond their primary glucogenesis function. | Starch | alpha-amylase | Zea mays |
