“…It is also the organ system expressing the greatest amount of GLUT5 in human (13,20,47,79,81), rat (24, 35-38, 45, 72, 75, 84, 108, 112, 113, 139, 140, 147), mouse (22,33,83,107), rabbit (109), chicken (60), and horse (104). In cattle, GLUT5 expression in the intestine is significantly lower than in skeletal muscle (159), probably because this species is a foregut fermenter, and it is possible that fructose-like cellulose and other carbohydrate products are fermented in the stomach and little sugar reaches the intestinal lumen.…”
