    • Overview
      • dietary carbohydrates include polysaccharides, disaccharides, and monosaccharides
    • Digestion of dietary polysaccharides
      • pancreatic secretions
        • pancreatic juices are secreted into lumen of duodenum of small intestine
      • intestinal mucosa
        • intestinal epithelial cells absorb glucose, a monosaccharide
    • Digestion of dietary disaccharides
      • dietary disaccharides include trehalose, lactose, and sucrose
      • dietary disaccharides do not require α-amylase digestion
      • intestinal brush border enzymes initiate digestion of disaccharides to monosaccharides
        • trehalase catalyzes trehalose → glucose + glucose
        • lactase catalyzes lactose → glucose + galactose
        • sucrase catalyzes sucrose → glucose + fructose
      • intestinal epithelial cells absorb glucose, galactose, and fructose, all monosaccharides
