In this video I have explained the process of absorption of monosaccharides in the duodenum and jejunum. Two transporters absorb monosaccharides like glucose, galactose and fructose, they are SGLT-1 and GLUT 5. SGLT-1 works in a sodium dependent manner and GLUT 5 works in sodium independent manner. GLUT 2 on the basal side transport these monosaccharides out into portal vessel. Na-K ATPase on the basolateral side helps SGLT-1 to function optimally. Lactose intolerance can occur due to lactase deficiency leading to osmotic diarrhea, abdominal cramps and flatulence. Carbohydrate indigestion, and carbohydrate dumping could lead to osmotic diarrhea.
Understanding cellular metabolic process will help us to understand the disease process when some metabolic events go wrong!! With this blog I would like to share my medical biochemistry knowledge with you!!!
