What is the Pharmacology of Phloretin?
Phloretin inhibits the active transport of glucose into cells by SGLT1 and SGLT2, though the inhibition is weaker than by its glycoside phlorizin.Orally consumed phlorizin is nearly entirely converted into phloretin by hydrolytic enzymes in the small intestine. An important effect of this is the inhibition of glucose absorption by the small intestine and the inhibition of renal glucose reabsorption.Phloretin also inhibits a variety of urea transporters.It induces urea loss and diuresis when coupled with high protein diets.

Phloretin has been found to inhibit GLUT2.

What is the Metabolism of Phloretin?
Phloretin hydrolase uses phloretin and water to produce phloretate and phloroglucinol.

What is the Glycosides of Phloretin?
Phlorizin is the 2'-glucoside of phloretin.

Naringin dihydrochalcone is a diglycoside of phloretin.
