Na+-coupled D-glucose uptake and membrane order of enterocyte brush border membrane vesicles, under the effect of a series of N-phenylcarbamates.
The importance of the hydrophobic effect of exogenous substances and of modifications of membrane order on D-glucose uptake are still poorly defined. Our results show that the concentrative Na+ -coupled D-glucose uptake of rat enterocyte brush border membrane vesicles is inhibited by N-phenylcarbamates increase the membrane order. However, since the concentrations required for membrane order increase are much greater than those active on D-glucose uptake, the effects on lipid order cannot be responsible for the inhibition of D-glucose uptake. Measurements of D-glucose uptake under conditions of Na+ equilibrium show that these carbamates do not act directly on the carrier but indirectly by favouring the dissipation of the Na+ gradient.
