Description: In prior work we had shown that intestinal glucose and fructose membrane transporters can be inhibited by plant derived flavonols, specifically myricetin, fisetin, and quercetin. The inhibition was noncompetitive, and quercetin itself was not transported by the three major intestinal glucose transporters. Expanding on this work, we demonstrate that various extracts from food items can inhibit the glucose uptake into a model of intestinal epithelial cells, CaCo-2E. We conclude that the dominant intestinal sugar transporters can be inhibited by dietary compounds which are inefficiently absorbed and naturally present in foods. The inhibition of the major intestinal glucose transporters by quercetin leads to a blunted postprandial blood glucose rise in a rat model of diabetes type2, indicating that those food compounds improve the glycemic index of foods. These food components show promise as new nutraceutical or pharmacologic agents in obesity. Specific formulations with maximal efficacy to target each intestinal glucose transporter could be developed in the future.
