| Abstract: | Ethyl alpha-D-glucoside (alpha-EG) is normally contained in Sake, which has been taken by Japanese people since ancient times. In this study, the intestinal absorption of alpha-EG was investigated using rat everted intestinal sac. Furthermore, the alpha-EG hydrolytic activity in rat intestine was compared with disaccharides hydrolytic activities, and the effects of alpha-EG on disaccharides hydrolysis were examined using crude enzyme preparation from rat intestinal acetone powder. Glucose liberated from alpha-EG was detected in a serosal solution of everted rat intestinal sac, but it was only less than 4% of absorbed intact alpha-EG. alpha-EG absorption into small intestinal tissue was reduced by elimination of sodium ion from the mucosal solution or under the presence of phlorizin. The hydrolytic activity for alpha-EG was detected in crude enzyme preparation from rat intestinal acetone powder, but it showed a low value as compared to those for disaccharides. alpha-EG showed mixed type inhibition for maltose and sucrose hydrolysis, but inhibitory concentrations of alpha-EG required for 50% inhibition for the maltose and sucrose hydrolysis were higher than those of arabinose and acarbose. In conclusion, a small amount of alpha-EG was hydrolyzed and most of it was absorbed via SGLT1 as an intact form in the rat small intestine, and the inhibitory effect of alpha-EG on disaccharides hydrolysis was weak. |
