Abstract:
Cudrania tricuspidata fruits are valued as functional foods and medicinal plants. Fruit samples collected from diverse regions in Korea were analyzed to characterize their major flavonoid constituents. Prenylated isoflavonoids were identified as the dominant compounds, and statistical analyses revealed their strong association with antidiabetic activity. In particular, several prenylated isoflavonoids, including pomiferin and osajin, showed significant regional variation and contributed markedly to the observed bioactivity. These results highlight the importance of chemical diversity in shaping the health-promoting potential of this traditional fruit. These findings suggest that the flavonoid composition of C. tricuspidata fruits plays a key role in their antidiabetic potential, with geographical factors such as longitude influencing both composition and activity.

Glucose Transporters
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:

Renal Tubule and Collecting Duct
Proximal Convoluted Tubule (PCT):
The PCT is the initial segment of the renal tubule, extending from the Bowman's capsule that encloses the glomerulus. Its convoluted structure and microvilli-lined cells increase the surface area for reabsorption. The PCT reabsorbs glucose, amino acids, sodium, and water from the filtrate, ensuring essential...
