Popis: The transport of d -fructose in isolated rat intestinal epithelial brush border membranes was studied. 1. 1.|The rates of d -fructose entry appeared to be slower than d -glucose but faster than either l -glucose or d -mannitol. 2. 2.| d -Fructose uptake, measured after 45 s of incubation, was linear up to and saturable above 200 mM while d -mannitol uptake, with identical incubation conditions, continued to be linear. 3. 3.|Isolated membranes were preloaded with unlabeled d -glucose or d -fructose. The uptake of labeled d -fructose was stimulated in the d -fructose-preloaded membranes and unaffected in the d -glucose-preloaded membranes. Conversely, d -glucose transport was enhanced in the d -glucose-preloaded membranes and unaltered in the d -fructose-preloaded membranes. 4. 4.|No influence of Na + or phlorizin on d -fructose uptake could be demonstrated. In the same experiment d -glucose was stimulated approximately 3-fold by Na + , and strongly inhibited by phlorizin. 5. 5.|None of the sugars tested ( d -glucose, d -galactose, l -sorbose or d -galatose), at 100 : 1 test inhibitor to substrate ratio decreased d -fructose transport. Using the same membrane preparation, d -glucose transport was inhibited 75% by d -galactose. These results suggest the existence of a distinct transport system for d -fructose, separate from that of d -glucose.
