Despite increased knowledge of nutrient intake regulation and energy homeostasis, treatment options for obesity remain limited. Food reward consists of two branches: gustatory and post-ingestive nutritive information. Drosophila lacking dSLC5A11 (sodium/glucose cotransporter 6-SGLT6) prefer L-glucose over D-glucose independently of their state of satiety. Human SGLT6 is an active transporter of myo-inositol and D-glucose. We investigated expression of SGLT6 in human tissue and found a significant expression in the small intestine and brain. The preference between a metabolizable and a non-metabolizable sugar was tested in 3 mouse models with a selective and potent SGLT6 inhibitor. No influence on sugar preference was seen with SGLT6 inhibition. These studies suggest that SGLT6 does not play a significant role in nutrient sensing in mammals.
尽管人们对营养摄入调节和能量平衡有了更多的了解,但肥胖的治疗选择仍然有限。食物奖励由两个分支组成:味觉和摄食后营养信息。缺乏 dSLC5A11(钠/葡萄糖协同转运蛋白 6-SGLT6)的果蝇在不考虑饱腹感的情况下,优先选择 L-葡萄糖而不是 D-葡萄糖。人类 SGLT6 是肌醇和 D-葡萄糖的活性转运蛋白。我们研究了 SGLT6 在人体组织中的表达,发现它在小肠和大脑中有明显的表达。在 3 种具有选择性和强效 SGLT6 抑制剂的小鼠模型中,测试了可代谢糖和不可代谢糖之间的偏好。SGLT6 抑制对糖偏好没有影响。这些研究表明,SGLT6 在哺乳动物的营养感应中不起重要作用。
