...) and metformin and the p38 inhibitor, SB203580. To differentiate between a sodium-coupled (SGLT1) and diffusive (GLUT2) route of entry, fluxes were measured in the presence of the SGLT1 and GLUT2 inhibitors phloridzin and phloretin. Glucose transporter mRNA levels were measured by reverse transcriptase–PCR...

...Ronaldo P. FERRARIS The Na + -dependent glucose transporter SGLT1 and the facilitated fructose transporter GLUT5 absorb sugars from the intestinal lumen across the brush-border membrane into the cells. The activity of these transport systems is known to be regulated primarily by diet...

...-operative ( n = 1.6, [G 1/2 ] = 56mM; where [G 1/2 ] is the glucose concentration at half V max ) because of the glucose-induced activation and recruitment of GLUT2 to the brush-border membrane. Diffusive transport by paracellular flow was negligible. The phloretin-insensitive, SGLT1-mediated, component...

... that for anisomycin plus PD98059 plus wortmannin. Transport was mediated by both GLUT5 and GLUT2. In general, GLUT2 levels increased up to 4-fold within minutes and with only minimal changes in GLUT5 or SGLT1 levels, demonstrating that GLUT2 trafficks by a rapid trafficking pathway distinct from that of GLUT5...
