Abstract

Small intestine plays an important role in the sensing of various nutrients. There is information that would imply the existence of a dietary phosphate sensing mechanism within the intestine. Recent studies suggest that intestinal factors may involve in the alteration of renal phosphate transport. The elucidation of the phosphate sensing mechanism is expected to provide molecular basis for the prevention of the hyperphosphatemia in chronic kidney disease patients.
