Using stem cell derived intestinal epithelial cultures (enteroids) derived from obese (BMI> 30) patients and non-obese and metabolically normal patients (either post-bariatric surgery (BS) or BS-naïve with BMI < 25), dietary glucose absorption was measured. We identified that enteroids from obese patients were characterized by glucose hyper-absorption (~ 5 fold) compared to non-obese patients. Significant upregulation of major intestinal sugar transporters, including SGLT1, GLU2 and GLUT5 was responsible for hyper-absorptive phenotype and their pharmacologic inhibition significantly decreased glucose absorption. Importantly, we observed that enteroids from post-BS non-obese patients exhibited low dietary glucose absorption, indicating that altered glucose absorption ...
