Digestion,Absorption of Carbohydrates and Hexose Sugars
Metabolism
1
Digestion of carbohydrates
 Dietary carbohydrates:
 Polysaccharides: starch and glycogen
 Disaccharides: sucrose (cane sugar),lactose (milk sugar) and maltose
 Monosaccharides: fructose & pentoses
 Liquid food materials: milk,soup,fruit juice
2
Digestion of carbohydrates (CHO)
 CHO present in three forms:
Digestible
Ready-to-absorb
Non-digestible
• Cellulose, pentosans, hemicellulose, etc.
3
Digestion of carbohydrates
4
Digestion of carbohydrates
Digestion in mouth:
• Homogenization
• Mastication
• Dietary polysaccharides become hydrated
 Salivary amylase (ptyalin)
 Action of Ptyalin/Salivary Amylase/α-amylase:
 Cl– ion for activation & optimum pH 6.7 (range 6.6 to 6.8)
 Hydrolyzes α-1 → 4 internal glycosidic linkage.
 Producing:
• -dextrins
• Maltose
• Maltotriose
 Starch digestion is incomplete.
5
Digestion of carbohydrates
Digestion in stomach
Salivary amylase stops its action in stomach when pH falls.
Acidic pH 1 – 2
 Digestion in the Small Intestine
 Two enzymes that digest CHO:
1.Pancreatic juice
2.Intestinal mucosal brush border enzymes
6
Digestion of carbohydrates
Digestion in duodenum:
 Pancreatic juice
 Pancreatic amylase (also called amylopsin)
• α –amylase:
• Optimum PH 7.1
• Cl– for activity
• Hydrolyses α-1→4 glycosidic linkage
 Products of hydrolysis of starch/Glycogen:
 Maltose
 Maltotriose
 -Limit dextrin (oligosaccharides with -1,6 branches )
7
Digestion of carbohydrates
2. Intestinal mucosal brush border enzymes
 Intestinal amylase:
 Hydrolyses terminal α-1→4 glycosidic linkage.
 Polysaccharides and oligosaccharides →free glucose molecules
 Glucoamylase:
 An exoglycosidase
 Substrates :amylose,amylopectin,glycogen and maltose
 Hydrolyzes  -1,4 glycosidic bonds b/n glucosyl units,beginning at nonreducing end.
8
Digestion of carbohydrates
2. Intestinal mucosal brush border enzymes ……
• Isomaltase–maltase
 Hydrolyzes -1, 6 bonds in limit dextrins &  -1,4 bonds in maltose and
maltotriose.
 α-limit dextrin → maltose+ glucose
• Sucrase–maltase
 Hydrolyzes sucrose, maltose, and maltotriose
9
Digestion of carbohydrates
Intestinal mucosal brush border enzymes:
Disaccharides,maltotriose,-limit dextrin are digested into Glc,Gal,& Fru
10
Dietary fibers
 -1,4 glucosidic linkage of Cellulose
 not hydrolyzed by human digestive enzymes
 Hemicellulose, lignin, gums, pectins & pentosans
 Are also indigestible
11
Types of Fiber in the Diet
12
Dietary…(Cont’d)
 Dietary fibers passes as it is in stools & beneficial for:
Increasing bulk of intestinal contents by adsorbing water
Stimulates peristaltic movements
to reduce stool transit time and prevents constipation
Lower contact with fecal mutagens.
High-fiber diets are also beneficial by reducing the incidence of:
Cancer of the colon
Cardiovascular disease
Diabetes mellitus
13
Dietary … (Cont’d)
 It induces establishment of normal colon bacteria
With several benefits including:
Fermentation of fibers
Production of vitamins Vitamin K & Biotin
 However,excessive dietary fibers,
Fiber can bind minerals such as calcium,magnesium,iron and zinc,which limits their
absorption
E.g., Chelate calcium in an insoluble form
14
ABSORPTION OF CARBOHYDRATES
 All monosaccharides completely absorbed in small intestine.
Two mechanisms of monosaccharides are suggested:
1. Simple diffusion:
 Sugar concentration gradients between the intestinal lumen,mucosal cells and blood plasma.
 All the monosaccharides are probably absorbed to some extent by simple‘passive’diffusion.
2.“Active”Transport Mechanisms
 Glucose and galactose are absorbed actively very rapidly.
 Fructose absorption is also rapid but < glucose & galactose
• But it is faster than pentoses.
 Hence fructose may be absorbed by both simple diffusion & facilitated transport.
15
Absorption of Carbohydrates
Absorption by the Intestinal Epithelium
Glc is transported through the absorptive cells of the intestine by:
Na-dependent facilitated transport
Facilitated diffusion
It enters the absorptive cells by binding to transport proteins.
2 types of Glc transport proteins are present in the intestinal cells:
Na+-dependent glucose transporters  sGLT
Facilitative glucose transporters  GLUT
16
Na+-Dependent Glucose Transporters
sGLT1 & sGLT2:
Located on the luminal side of the absorptive cells.
A low intracellular Na+ concentration is maintained by:
Na+,K+-ATPase on the serosal (blood) side of the cell.
uses the energy from ATP cleavage to pump Na+ out of the cell.
Transport of Glc from a low conc. in the lumen to a high conc. in the cell is by
• Cotransport of Na+
• Secondary active transport
 Active transport of sugars are inhibited by:
Strophanthin,Ouabain, Dinitrophenol (DNP), Phloridzin
17
Glucose transport in intestinal epithelial cells
18
Facilitative GlucoseTransporters
GLUT-1 to GLUT-12:
Which do not bind Na+ & are located on the serosal side
Glucose moves via the facilitative transporters:
from the high conc. inside the cell to the lower conc. in the blood
Facilitative transporters for Glc also exist on the luminal side.
• GLUT-5
19
Major glucose transporters
20
Facilitative transport
By transport proteins 
Multiple groups on the protein
bind the -OH groups of Glc &
close behind it as it is released into the cell
i.e.,the transporter acts like
“gated pore”
O = outside
I = inside
21
Galactose & Fructose Absorption
Through GlucoseTransporters
Galactose:
Absorbed through the same mechanisms as glucose
It enters the absorptive cells on the luminal side via:
• Na+-dependent glucose transporters &
Transported through the serosal side by:
• Facilitative glucose transporters
Fructose:
Both enters & leaves absorptive epithelial cells by:
• Facilitated diffusion  GLUT-5
22
Transport of Monosaccharides intoTissues
Properties of the GLUT transport proteins differ b/n tissues
Reflecting the function of glucose metabolism in each tissue
In most cell types, the rate of Glc transport across the membrane is
Not rate-limiting for glucose metabolism
b/c the isoform of transporter present in these cell types:
has a relatively low Km for Glc, or
is present in relatively high conc. in the cell membrane
so that the IC Glc conc. reflects that in the blood
23
Transport of …(Cont’d)
However, in several tissues, the rate of transport becomes rate limiting when:
Serum level of Glc is low, or
Low levels of insulin signal the absence of dietary Glc.
Liver:  GLUT-2
Km for the glucose transporter is relatively high compared with that of other
tissues.
 15 mM or above
This is in keeping with the liver’s role as the organ that maintains blood
glucose levels.
24
Transport of …(Cont’d)
Muscle & Adipose tissue:  GLUT-4
Transport of Glc is greatly stimulated by insulin.
The mechanism involves recruitment of GLUT-4
In adipose tissue:
es Glc availability for the synthesis of Fatty acids & Glycerol
In skeletal muscle es Glc availability for:
• Glycolysis
• Glycogen synthesis

Defects in digestion and absorption of carbohydrates (including inherited disorders)
Lactase Deficiency
 Intolerance to lactose
 Diarrhea
 Flatulence
 Abdominal cramps
 Distension
Treatment: reduce the consumption of milk, taking lactase in pills form
prior to eating, taking lactase treated food.
Cows’ milk allergy is much more common than lactose intolerance in babies
It is caused by an allergic reaction of the baby’s immune system to proteins in the milk.
27

Cows’ milk allergy is much more common than lactose intolerance in babies and is caused
(not by lactose) by an allergic reaction of the baby’s immune system to proteins in the milk.
 Sucrase Deficiency
 Inherited deficiency of sucrase and isomaltase
 Symptoms in early childhood (sucrose: cane sugar and table sugar)
 Disacchariduria:
 Disaccharidase deficiency—Excretion of disaccharides
 Intestinal damage (e.G. Sprue and celiac disease)
 ~300 mg or more of disaccharides may be excreted
 Monosaccharide Malabsorption
 Due to inherited disorders of carrier protein.
• Necessary for absorption of glucose and /galactose

 It occurs in the cell cytosol of all tissues of the body.
 RBCs
 Cornea, lens and some parts of retina
 Kidney (medulla), testicles, leukocytes and white muscle fibers
 Contracting muscles
• occlusion of blood vessels by the muscular contraction
 Cancer cells
 Brain & gastrointestinal tract
35

Glycolysis
 The total inputs and the outputs of all the 10 glycolytic reactions may be written
as follows :
Glucose + 2 ATP + 2 Pi + 2 NAD+ + 2 H+ + 4 ADP→ 2 pyruvate + 2 H+ + 4 ATP +
2 H2O + 2 NADH + 2 H+ + 2ADP
 Net equation for the transformation of glucose into pyruvate :

Muscle anaerobic glycolysis (lactic fermentation)
The net equation for anaerobic glycolysis in muscles and lactate fermentation in some
microbes would then be :
Glucose + 2 Pi + 2 ADP → 2 lactate + 2 ATP + 2 H+ + 2 H2O
No net oxidation or reduction.
Lactate dehydrogenase
44
Cori cycle
 Lactate is taken up by other tissues (liver,
heart, and skeletal muscle) and oxidized
back to pyruvate.
 In the liver, the pyruvate serves as a
precursor for gluconeogenesis.
 The cycling of lactate and glucose between
peripheral tissues (RBC & skeletal
muscle) and liver is Cori cycle
45
ALCOHOLIC FERMENTATION
 In yeast and other microorganisms
The net equation for alcoholic fermentation would then be:
Glucose + 2 Pi + 2 ADP → 2 Ethanol + 2 CO2 + 2ATP + 2 H2O
No net oxidation-reduction.
46
Biomedical Importances of glycolysis
 Energy (ATP) source for skeletal muscle even in absence of O2.
 Haemolytic anaemias: Inherited enzyme deficiencies:
 Hexokinase deficiency and pyruvate kinase deficiency
 Role in cancer therapy:
 In fast-growing cancer cells, rate of glycolysis is very high.
o ↑more pyruvate → ↑lactic acid (local lactic acidosis).

Metabolism and clinical significance of hexose sugars other than
glucose
Entry of dietary glycogen,starch,disaccharides,and hexoses into the preparatory stage of glycolysis
• Glucose is the center of carbohydrate metabolism.
• Other sugars in the diet are converted to
intermediates of glucose metabolism,when
carbohydrates other than glucose are required.
Overview of the entry of other hexoses into glycolysis
Fructose metabolism
 Liver, small intestinal mucosa & kidney (fructokinase & aldolase B)
 Two pathways for the metabolism of fructose:
1. In muscle & adipose tissue, Fru → Fru 6-P (hexokinase)
2. In liver, kidney & SI mucosa, Fru → Fru 1-P (fructokinase/ketohexokinase)
o Aldolase isoforms (A, B, C, & fetal aldolases)
• Aldolase B (liver,kidney & SI mucosa)
• AldolaseA → muscle & most other tissues
• Aldolase C → brain
• Fetal aldolase → liver before birth
• All can cleave Fru1,6-BP
• But Only aldolase B can also cleave Fru-1-P
The rate of fructose metabolism is more rapid than that
of glucose because the trioses formed from fructose 1-
phosphate bypass phosphofructokinase-1—the major
rate-limiting step in glycolysis.
Fructose metabolism
Fructose metabolism in Liver and Muscle
The Polyol Pathway Converts Glucose to Fructose
Polyol Pathway and Fructose metabolism
The effect of hyperglycemia on sorbitol metabolism and diabetic cataract formation.
 Insulin is not required for the entry of glucose into:
• Lens
• Retina
• Schwann cells of peripheral nerves
• Liver
• Kidney
• Placenta
• Red blood cells
• Cells of the ovaries
• Seminal vesicles
Polyol Pathway and Fructose metabolism
 In uncontrolled diabetes,large amounts of glucose may enter into the above cells
during times of hyperglycemia.
 Elevated intracellular [glucose] and an adequate supply of NADPH:
 Cause aldose reductase to produce a significant increased amount of sorbitol and trapped inside
the cell
 It can be oxidized into fructose by sorbitol dehydrogenase
 But when sorbitol dehydrogenase is low or absent in lens,retina,kidney,and nerve cells,sorbitol
accumulates in these cells.
• High osmotic pressure is created in these cells.
• Cataract formation,retinopathy,nephropathy and neuropathy
 Sorbitol accumulation can be prevented by aldose reductase inhibitors in experimental
animals.
 But no current evidence available that inhibitors are effective in preventing cataract or
diabetic neuropathy in humans.
Disorders of Fructose metabolism
1. A benign condition caused by fructokinase deficiency (essential fructosuria)
2. A severe disturbance of liver and kidney metabolism
 Caused by aldolase B deficiency (hereditary fructose intolerance,HFI)
The first symptoms of HFI appear when a baby is weaned from milk and begins to
eat food containing sucrose or fructose.
Disorders of Fructose metabolism
Hereditary fructose intolerance,HFI
 Fructose 1-phosphate accumulates:
 Vomiting
 Hepatomegaly →hepatic failure
 Jaundice
 Pi,ATP,inhibition of biosynthetic pathway
 AMP Hyperuricemia
 blood clotting factors →hemorrhage
 Hypoglycemia & lactic acidosis
 Diagnosis of HFI by examining fructose in the urine,enzyme assay or by DNA-based testing.
 With HFI,sucrose and sorbitol & fructose must be removed from the diet to prevent liver failure and possible
death.
Galactose metabolism
62
Metabolism of Mannose
 Source: dietary polysaccharides & glycoproteins
 Then,converted to fructose 6-phosphate by the phosphomannose isomerase

  • 15. ABSORPTION OF CARBOHYDRATES  All monosaccharides completely absorbed in small intestine. Two mechanisms of monosaccharides are suggested: 1. Simple diffusion:  Sugar concentration gradients between the intestinal lumen,mucosal cells and blood plasma.  All the monosaccharides are probably absorbed to some extent by simple‘passive’diffusion. 2.“Active”Transport Mechanisms  Glucose and galactose are absorbed actively very rapidly.  Fructose absorption is also rapid but < glucose & galactose • But it is faster than pentoses.  Hence fructose may be absorbed by both simple diffusion & facilitated transport. 15
