<span>The blood pressure measured in the calf is lower than it is in the arm. Blood pressure in the body is highest right at the ascending arch of the aorta. From that point, the pressure decreases as blood moves "distally" from the heart. Purely mechanically, legs are farther away from the heart than are the arms, thus pressure is less.</span>

Alenkinab [10]
The one advantage of using DNS assay to detect maltose production is the formation of a soluble and colored product compound. 
The reaction that occurs between maltose and DNS in the assay is a redox reaction (reduction and oxidation) such that maltose gets oxidized and becomes Maltonic Acid while the DNS gets reduced into reduced DNS. The  intensity of orange/brown /red color of reduced DNS is proportionately related to the amount of Maltose in the solution.
