Consumption of a Natural High-Intensity Sweetener Enhances Activity and Expression of Rabbit Intestinal Na+/Glucose Cotransporter 1 (SGLT1) and Improves Colibacillosis-Induced Enteric Disorders.


ABSTRACT: Absorption of glucose, via intestinal Na+/glucose cotransporter 1 (SGLT1), activates salt and water absorption and is an effective route for treating Escherichia coli (E. coli)-induced diarrhea. Activity and expression of SGLT1 is regulated by sensing of sugars and artificial/natural sweeteners by the intestinal sweet receptor T1R2-T1R3 expressed in enteroendocrine cells. Diarrhea, caused by the bacterial pathogen E. coli, is the most common post-weaning clinical feature in rabbits, leading to mortality. We demonstrate here that, in rabbits with experimentally E. coli-induced diarrhea, inclusion of a supplement containing stevia leaf extract (SL) in the feed decreases cumulative morbidity, improving clinical signs of disease (p < 0.01). We show that the rabbit intestine expresses T1R2-T1R3. Furthermore, intake of SL enhances activity and expression of SGLT1 and the intestinal capacity to absorb glucose (1.8-fold increase, p < 0.05). Thus, a natural plant extract sweetener can act as an effective feed additive for lessening the negative impact of enteric diseases in animals.
