Sodium-dependent glucose #cotransporters (or sodium-glucose #linked transporter, SGLT) are a family of #glucoseTransporter found in the intestinal #mucosa (#enterocytes) of the #smallIntestine (SGLT1) and the #proximalTubule of the #nephron (#SGLT2 in #PCT and SGLT1 in #PST). They contribute to #renalGlucoseReabsorption. In the kidneys, 100% of the filtered glucose in the #glomerulus has to be reabsorbed along the nephron (98% in PCT, via SGLT2).

How the small intestine defends itself against bacteria

Researchers at the University of Gothenburg have been studying the mucus involved in defending the intestines and airways against infection for more than 30 years. To date, their work has focused very much on the large intestine, but this study, published in Science Signaling, now shows for the first time how this mucus normally protects the crypts (invaginations) of the small intestine.
