Popis: BACKGROUND: Chronic alcohol use often leads to malnutrition. However, how the intestinal absorption of nutrients such as glucose may be affected during moderate ethanol use has not been investigated. Glucose is absorbed via sodium (Na)-dependent glucose co-transport (SGLT1; SLC5A1) along the brush border membrane (BBM) of intestinal absorptive villus cells. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate how moderate alcohol consumption affects the absorption of glucose via SGLT1. METHODS: Intestinal epithelial cells (IEC-18; rat) were exposed to 8.64 mM ethanol over 1, 3, 6, and 12 h. Rats (16-wk-old, male, Sprague-Dawley) were administered 2 g/kg ethanol over 1, 3, and 6 h. Na-dependent (3)H-O-methyl-d-glucose uptake was measured to assess SGLT1 activity. Na-K-ATPase activity was measured as a function of inorganic phosphate release. Protein expression was analyzed by Western blot analysis and immunohistochemical staining. RESULTS: Ethanol significantly decreased Na-dependent glucose absorption in enterocytes in vitro (ethanol treatment: 48.4% of controls at 1 h; P
