Peptide regulation of intestinal glucose absorption

Terminal hydrolysis of oligosaccharides at the small intestinal brush border yields monomeric glucose, most of which is then absorbed by the transepithelial route. This involves carrier-mediated processes requiring specialized functional proteins situated in the brush border (SGLT1) and basolateral (GLUT2) membranes. Glucose translocation at the enterocyte apical membrane is an active, Na(+)-dependent and saturable process, whereas exit from enterocytes is by facilitated diffusion and is energy-independent. Specific adaptation of glucose active transport occurs in response to changes in the proportion of glucose in the diet. The regulatory signals responsible for transport induction are imprecisely defined, although numerous protein hormones and gut regulatory proteins are implicated. Epidermal growth factor and peptide YY invoke up-regulation of jejunal active glucose transport in vivo. Recently, peptide YY has been shown to stimulate active glucose transport in mice without altering oxygen consumption of jejunal tissue. Several other peptides whose presence in tissues of the small bowel imply that they exert control over epithelial nutrient transport are considered, and the relevance of these physiological manipulations, with various regulatory peptides and hormones, to animal agriculture are discussed.
