Na+-dependent D-glucose transport was studied in brush-border membrane vesicles from duodenum, jejunum, and ileum of 5- to 6-wk-old chickens. Regional differences were found, and both initial rates and accumulation ratio of D-glucose were higher in the proximal part of the small intestine than in the ileum. To establish the mechanism(s) underlying these differences we have studied the density of Na+-dependent D-glucose cotransporter (SGLT1) as well as lipid composition and fluidity. Phlorizin-specific binding and Western blot analysis indicated a decrease in the amount of SGLT1 in the ileum when compared to the duodenum and jejunum. The distal part of the small intestine also showed a decrease in free cholesterol content and saturated-to-unsaturated fatty acid ratio together with an increase in lipid content and phosphatidylcholine-to-sphingomyelin ratio. These results were associated with a decrease in the diphenylhextriene fluorescence polarization found in brush-border membranes of the ileum. We can conclude that the decrease in the apical D-glucose transport found in the ileum is primarily due to a reduction in the amount of SGLT1 present in the brush-border membrane rather than the differences in the lipid composition and fluidity. |
