Intestinal glucose absorption comprises two components. One is classical active absorption
mediated by the Na+/glucose cotransporter. The other is a diffusive component, formerly …

Fructose intake has increased dramatically since humans were hunter‐gatherers, probably
outpacing the capacity of human evolution to make physiologically healthy adaptations …

Cloned 20 years ago, GLUT2 is a facilitative glucose transporter in the liver, pancreas,
intestine, kidney, and brain. It ensures large bidirectional fluxes of glucose in and out the cell …

AIM OF THE STUDY: Nigella sativa L.(Ranunculaceae) seeds have been used traditionally
for centuries, notably for treating diabetes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We studied the …

Polyphenols contained within plant tissues are consumed in significant amounts in the
human diet and are known to influence a number of biological processes. This study …

CD36 is the receptor for long chain fatty acids (LCFA), and is expressed in lingual taste cells
from rodents. In these animals, CD36 has been proposed to play an important role in oral …

T1R taste receptors are present throughout the gastrointestinal tract. Glucose absorption
comprises active absorption via SGLT1 and facilitated absorption via GLUT2 in the apical …

Despite clinical findings suggesting that the form (liquid versus solid) of the sugars may
significantly affect the development of metabolic diseases, no experimental data are …

Marked increases in fructose consumption have been tightly linked to metabolic diseases.
One-third of ingested fructose is metabolized in the small intestine, but the underlying …

Green tea containing polyphenols exerts antidiabetic and antiobesity effects, but the
mechanisms involved are not fully understood. In this study, we first analyzed and compared …
