Impact Factor Of Glycomics & Lipidomics

Glucose transport within the intestine is performed by the SGLT1 cotransporter if it's attached to 2 sodium ions. Salt provides one sodium ion per molecule consumed. In humans its ingestion is usually ten times the quantity needed and its consumption is usually amid high carbohydrate diets. This project evaluates if an outsized salt intake within the diet results in the event of obesity. This work was raised thinking that an easy strategy to scale back the load would decrease the quantity of salt in food. Methods: The effect of salt on the dynamics of glucose absorption within the gut was evaluated making glucose tolerance curves with salt (1.55 molar of glucose 3.1 molar of salt) and without salt. Salty tastes simulating increased food intake and promoting weight gain in Wistar rats were also analysed. Results: The experiments showed that excessive salt intake prevents the transport of glucose from the intestinal lumen into the bloodstream. Additionally, salty tastes favoured increased food intake and weight gain. Conclusion: Sodium that naturally flows from the cytoplasm of enterocytes into the intestinal lumen, maintains the glucose cotransporter SGLT1 saturated and ensures within the least times the transport of glucose that has been ingested in the diet. Excessive salt intake prevents the absorption of glucose from the intestinal lumen. Moreover, salty taste favours increased food intake and weight gain in Wistar rats.
