- Good question - wish I could remember off the top of my head. Trehalase in the gut is the determining step for breakdown into glucose. Its on the villi. Deficiency is rare. It would be the question of rate of release. GraemeLeggett 08:41, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
Xerobiosis, Is this a real term? Googling it only brings forth two results, both of them mentioned in Wikipedia entries.--Hooperbloob 03:17, 5 Dec 2004 (UTC)
