Glucose Transporters01:27

Glucose Transporters

22.4K
Glucose transporters facilitate the transport of glucose across the cell membrane. In addition to glucose, some glucose transporters can also aid the movement of other hexoses such as fructose, mannose, and galactose.
Facilitated diffusion-glucose transporters (GLUTs) are encoded by the solute-linked carrier (SLC) family 2, subfamily A gene family, or SLC2A. The 14 GLUT protein members are distributed into three classes:

Glucose Absorption Into the Small Intestine01:26

Glucose Absorption Into the Small Intestine

31.2K
Complex carbohydrates consumed cannot be absorbed into the small intestine in their original form. First, they must be hydrolyzed to a monosaccharide form such as glucose or galactose. These monosaccharides are then transported across the intestinal membrane and into the blood via transcellular transport. The intestinal epithelial cells allow the movement of these monosaccharides with a defined 'entry' through membrane transporter proteins present on their apical membrane and...

Overview of Carbohydrate Metabolism

690
Carbohydrate metabolism is a fundamental biochemical process that ensures a constant supply of energy to living cells. The most important carbohydrate is glucose, which can be broken down via glycolysis to enter into the Krebs cycle and eventually lead to the production of ATP through oxidative phosphorylation.
Glucose transport into cells is facilitated by a family of transport proteins called GLUT (Glucose Transporters). GLUT4 is the primary glucose transporter for insulin-stimulated glucose...

Introduction to Carbohydrates01:34

Introduction to Carbohydrates

12.2K
Carbohydrates, proteins, and fats are the primary macronutrients in the human diet. However, carbohydrates are the most favored source of energy in the body. They can be found in a wide variety of foods, including whole grains, fruit, and vegetables, in various forms, such as sugars, starch, and dietary fiber. Based on their structure, carbohydrates are classified into three main classes— monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides. The body's cells can only utilize simple...

Protein Glycosylation01:25

Protein Glycosylation

6.7K
Glycosylation, the most common post-translational modification for proteins, serves diverse functions. Adding sugars to proteins makes the proteins more resistant to proteolytic digestion. Glycosylated proteins can act as markers and receptors to promote cell-cell adhesion. Additionally, they have many essential quality control functions in the cell, such as correct protein folding and facilitating transport of misfolded proteins to the cytosol, which can be degraded.
Glycosylation occurs in...

Hypoglycemia and Glucagon01:15

Hypoglycemia and Glucagon

149
Without prolonged fasting, healthy individuals maintain blood glucose levels above 3.5 mM due to a well-adapted neuroendocrine counterregulatory system that effectively prevents acute hypoglycemia, a potentially life-threatening condition. The primary clinical scenarios for hypoglycemia encompass diabetes treatment, inappropriate production of endogenous insulin or insulin-like substances by tumors, and the use of glucose-lowering agents in non-diabetic individuals. Notably, hypoglycemia in the...

Area of Science:

  • Dietary science
  • Immunology
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Wheat cultivation began around 9000 BC, making gluten a relatively new dietary component for humans.
  • Increased global wheat production correlates with a rise in gluten-related disorders.
  • Coeliac disease (CD) affects over 1% of adults, necessitating a strict gluten-free diet (GFD).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the role of the gluten-free diet in managing gluten-related disorders.
  • To address current uncertainties in the aetiology and management of gluten-related disorders.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on gluten-related disorders and the gluten-free diet.
  • Analysis of trends in wheat production and gluten-related disorder prevalence.
  • Examination of evidence for GFD use in non-CD individuals.

Main Results:

  • A growing number of individuals without CD are adopting a GFD for various reasons, including lifestyle choices and symptom management.
  • Non-coeliac gluten sensitivity and irritable bowel-type symptoms are increasingly recognized.
  • Despite increased recognition, gaps in understanding gluten-related disorders persist.

Conclusions:

  • The gluten-free diet is a primary management strategy for coeliac disease.
  • The use and efficacy of GFDs in individuals without CD require further investigation.
  • Continued research is needed to fully understand the aetiology and optimize management of all gluten-related disorders.
