What is Carbohydrate Digestion NASPGHAN about?
The document discusses carbohydrate digestion and absorption. Carbohydrates are broken down into monosaccharides through digestion in the mouth, stomach, and small intestine. Enzymes in the small intestine complete digestion of starches, disaccharides, and oligosaccharides into glucose and other monosaccharides that are then absorbed. Absorption occurs primarily through active transport of glucose and galactose via the sodium-glucose transporter and facilitated diffusion of fructose via GLUT-5 transporters.
