Aniseed oil increases glucose absorption and reduces urine output in the rat.

The paradox is that the large amount of glycogen (10%) in the liver cannot be explained by its relatively minimal glucose absorption.

Wheat and maize but not oats modify glucose absorption, the rate being dependent upon the particle size.

However, as many as 10 percent of the population may have a somewhat reduced capacity for glucose absorption without associated health problems.

Though intestinal α-glucosidase inhibitors inferfere with sucros and starch digestion, glucose absorption is not affected.

Furthermore, restricting intraluminal sodium concentration in jejunal perfusion does not seem to limit glucose absorption.

This inhibition lowers the rate of glucose absorption through delayed carbohydrate digestion and extended digestion time.

Secondly, it seems to reduce glucose absorption in the small intestine (Blackburn et al, 1984).

Prolonged high blood glucose can cause glucose absorption in the lens of the eye, which leads to changes in its shape, resulting in vision changes.

Effects of stevioside and steviol on intestinal glucose absorption in hamsters.
