Digestion and Absorption of Carbohydrates
Summary
TLDRThis video delves into the intricate process of carbohydrate digestion and absorption. It explains how monosaccharides are directly absorbed, while disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides require enzymatic breakdown into simpler forms. The script covers the role of salivary amylase in the mouth, the lack of carbohydrate digestion in the stomach, and the action of pancreatic and brush border enzymes in the small intestine, ultimately leading to the absorption of glucose, fructose, and galactose into the bloodstream.

Q & A
What are the main types of dietary carbohydrates discussed in the video?
-The main types of dietary carbohydrates discussed are monosaccharides (glucose, galactose, and fructose), disaccharides (sucrose and maltose), oligosaccharides (like dextrins), and polysaccharides (like starch and amylopectin).
How are monosaccharides absorbed in the body?
-Monosaccharides are directly absorbed by the body without the need for enzymatic digestion.
What is the role of disaccharides in the digestion process?
-Disaccharides need to be digested and broken down into simpler monosaccharides before they can be absorbed.
Which enzymes are involved in the breakdown of oligosaccharides and polysaccharides?
-Oligosaccharides and polysaccharides are broken down into monosaccharides by enzymes such as amylase, isomaltase, dextrinase, and other brush border enzymes.
Where does carbohydrate digestion begin in the body?
-Carbohydrate digestion begins in the mouth with the action of salivary amylase on polysaccharides like starch.
What is the role of the pancreas in carbohydrate digestion?
-The pancreas secretes enzymes into the small intestine to aid in the digestion of disaccharides and polysaccharides.
Which enzymes are secreted by the brush border cells of the small intestine?
-The brush border cells secrete enzymes like maltase, isomaltase, sucrase, and lactase.
How is glucose transported from the small intestine into the enterocytes?
-Glucose is transported into enterocytes via the SGLT1 transporter and then enters the circulation via the GLUT transporter protein.
What is the role of fructose in the absorption process?
-Fructose is absorbed into enterocytes via the GLUT5 transporter protein and then enters the circulation via the GLUT2 transporter protein.
What happens to the disaccharides once they reach the small intestine?
-Disaccharides in the small intestine are acted upon by brush border enzymes, which break them down into monosaccharides.
How does the video conclude the process of carbohydrate digestion and absorption?
-The video concludes that after the breakdown of carbohydrates into monosaccharides, they are absorbed into the enterocytes and then transported into the circulation, completing the digestion and absorption process.
Outlines
🍚 Carbohydrate Digestion and Absorption Overview
This paragraph introduces the topic of carbohydrate digestion and absorption, building upon a previous video that summarized digestion and absorption of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. It outlines the different types of dietary carbohydrates, including monosaccharides (glucose, galactose, fructose), disaccharides (sucrose, maltose), oligosaccharides (dextrins), and polysaccharides (starch, glycogen, amylopectin). The paragraph explains that monosaccharides are directly absorbed without enzymatic digestion, while disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides require enzymatic breakdown into monosaccharides for absorption. The paragraph also mentions the digestive enzymes involved in carbohydrate digestion, which are secreted by the mouth, pancreas, and brush border cells of the small intestine.

Transcripts
in the previous video we discussed about
the summary of digestion and absorption
of carbohydrates proteins and pads if
you want to watch that video first the
link is in the description
now in this video we'll be discussing
about carbohydrate digestion and its
absorption
first off all we see the major dietary
carbohydrates available in the food
we see we have monosaccharides like
glucose galactose and fructose
these monosaccharides shows direct
absorption that means we do not have any
enzymatic digestion for monosaccharides
since they are directly absorbed next is
the disaccharides like sucrose and
maltose these disaccharides need
digestion and are broken down into
simpler ones like monosaccharides then
we have oligosaccharides like more
dodextrins which are again broken down
into monosaccharides for absorption
and finally where the polysaccharides
like stars amylopectin which are broken
into monosaccharides for absorption
now getting to digestive enzymes and
their sites first we have the mouth then
stomach then pancreas and then brush
border enzymes
in mouth where the slavery Alpha amylase
or simply slavery amylase
in stomach we do not have any kind of
enzymes for carbohydrate digestion
then pancreas secretes its enzymes into
small intestine and then within the
small intestine we have brush border
cells which have Maltese secretes
lactase isomoritis and dextronous
enzymes
now we know the digestion starts from
mouth and it's the polysaccharide
digestion which starts from the mouth
then stomach we do not have any kind of
action on carbohydrates then in small
intestine disaccharide digestion is
mediated
then we see this simple form of
carbohydrates reach small intestine
which are further broken down into
monosaccharides here in this diagram we
have the blood capillary followed by
enterocytes which has brush border
morphology towards the Lumen of
intestine as shown in the diagram then
we have small intestine lumen
and at dudinum who had the pancreas
secreting their pancreatic amylase into
small intestine
then we see we have the stomach and the
mouth
now let's start the digestion process
first the food reaches the mouth it's
masticated and mixed with slivery
amylase and in the food we have the
carbohydrates in polysaccharide form
like starch glycogen which is acted upon
by slavery amylase and gets converted
into oligosaccharides and maltose
and also where the glucose in the food
which doesn't need any kind of digestion
and directly gets into small intestine
from where it's transported into
enterocytes via sglt1 transporter as
shown in the diagram
and then this glucose molecule enters
the circulation via glue to transporter
protein
furthermore we see oligosaccharides and
maltose reaches the small intestine for
further digestion these oligosaccharides
like dextrin are converted into limit
text Trend and in the same way where the
disaccharides form in the small
intestine like maltotrios maltose
isomaltose sucrose and lactose all these
disaccharides are acted upon by brush
border enzymes
first of all maltose is acted upon by
Maltese enzyme and gets converted into
two molecules of glucose
second is isomoldose is exit upon by
isomaltase and gets converted into two
molecules of glucose again
in the same way sucrose is acted upon by
sacris and gets converted into one
molecule of glucose and one molecule of
fructose
then lactose is acted upon by lactase
enzyme and gets converted into glucose
and glectose and finally limit drag
strain is acted upon by dextrinase
enzyme and gets converted into glucose
maltose and maltotrios
now we see A3 molecules are getting
formed fructose glyptos and glucose all
the three are monosaccharide form which
can be absorbed now
and we know glucose gets absorbed by LG
LT1 into enterocytes and then
transported into circulation via glued
to transporter protein
and this root of absorption that's why
sglt into enterocyte is also shown by
glectose molecules as shown in the
diagram
then we have fructose molecules which
gets into enterocytes via glute 5
transporter protein as shown in the
diagram and then into circulation wire
glue2 transporter protein
so this is how we get the digestion of
carbohydrates and then absorption I hope
