In vitro study | Phloretin is a dihydrochalcone found in the bark of pears (Western pear), apples, cherries and other fruits. Phloretin inhibits the active transport of glucose into cells through SGLT1 and SGLT2, although the inhibitory effect is weaker than that of its carbohydrate ligand phlorizin. Oral Phlorizin is completely converted to phloretin by hydrolases in the small intestine. An important role of this process is the inhibition of glucose absorption by the small intestine and the inhibition of renal glucose reabsorption. Phloretin also inhibits various urea transporters. When combined with a high-protein diet, it causes a decrease in urea and has a diuretic effect. |
