Regulation of Intestinal Glucose Absorption by Ion Channels and Transporters

Regulation of Intestinal Glucose Absorption by Ion Channels and Transporters

The absorption of glucose is electrogenic in the small intestinal epithelium. The major route for the transport of dietary glucose from intestinal lumen into enterocytes is the Na+/glucose cotransporter (SGLT1), although glucose transporter type 2 (GLUT2) may also play a role. The membrane potential...
