Tagatose
Description
Name: Tagatose
Type: small molecule
Groups: investigational
Indication: Intended for use as a therapeutic adjunct in the treatment of type II diabetes.
Accession Number: DB04936 ( DB04936)
Description: Tagatose is a functional sweetener. It is a naturally occurring monosaccharide, specifically a hexose. It is often found in dairy products, and is very similar in texture to sucrose (table sugar) and is 92% as sweet, but with only 38% of the calories. It is approved as a food additive as a low calorie sweetener. Additionally, it is under investigation by Spherix for the treatment of obesity and type II diabetes.

Pharmacology
Indication: Intended for use as a therapeutic adjunct in the treatment of type II diabetes.
Pharmacodynamics: Not Available
Mechanism of action: he steps in the metabolism of tagatose are identical to those for fructose or fruit sugar but tagatose is incompletely absorbed. Only 15-20 percent of tagatose is absorbed in the small intestine. The major part of ingested tagatose is fermented in the colon by indigenous microflora, resulting in the production of short-chain fatty acids. The short chain fatty acids are absorbed almost completely and metabolized.
Absorption: Only 15-20 percent of tagatose is absorbed in the small intestine.
