What is the role of SGLT1 in absorption of glucose in the intestine?
It is generally accepted that SGLT1 mediates uptake of low concentrations of d-glucose across the brush-border membrane (BBM) of the small intestine and that d-glucose leaves enterocytes across the basolateral membrane (BLM) via GLUT2 (3).
What medications are SGLT1 inhibitors?
Table 1
| Compound | SGLT1 ICso (nmol/L) | Selectivity (SGLT2 vs SGLT1) |
|---|---|---|
| Empagliflozin Jardiance® | ~8300 | ~2700-fold |
| Ertugliflozin Steglatro® | ~1960 | ~2200-fold |
| Luseogliflozin Lusefi® | ~4071 | ~1770-fold |
| Dapagliflozin Farxiga® | ~1400 | ~1200-fold |
Is SGLT1 active or passive?
The Sodium Glucose Cotransporter SGLT1 Is an Extremely Efficient Facilitator of Passive Water Transport.
Which drug decreased the reabsorption of glucose?
Sodium/glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are a new type of glucose-lowering drug that can reduce blood glucose by inhibiting its reabsorption in proximal tubules and by promoting urinary glucose excretion.
What is the function of SGLT1?
SGLT1 is responsible for glucose absorption in the small intestine [3▪], and for reabsorbing nearly 3% of the filtered glucose load in the renal proximal tubule segment 3 (S3) [4▪▪]. Until recently, tissue localization studies of SGLT1 were hampered by the lack of well-functioning antibodies [3▪,5].
What is the difference between SGLT1 and SGLT2?
SGLT1 is a low-capacity, high-affinity transporter that mediates approximately 5% of glucose reabsorption in the S3 (distal) segment of the proximal tubule (Novak & Kruger, 2017). SGLT1 may help with additional renal glucose reabsorption that evades SGLT2 either due to overload or SGLT2 inhibition.
Where is SGLT1 found in the body?
SGLT1 is located at the brush-border membrane of the intestinal epithelial cells and is responsible for transporting glucose and galactose across the intestinal brush border (155).
Is GLUT5 active or passive?
The Main Fructose Transporter GLUT5 Fructose is transported passively across membranes by a member of the facilitative glucose transporter (GLUT) family, named GLUT5 (19, 20, 72, 98, 137).
How do SGLT1 inhibitors work?
SGLT1 Inhibitors Inhibition of SGLT1 delays and reduces glucose absorption in the small intestine, thus improving post meal glycemic control. This is beneficial particularly in patients with declining renal function where SGLT2 inhibition is less effective.
Which SGLT2 inhibitor is best?
Current Selective SGLT2 Inhibitors Of the three FDA approved drugs, empagliflozin has the greatest selectivity for SGLT2 compared to SGLT1, while canagliflozin is the least selective (5).
