“Phytate promotes the transition of Na(+) into the small-intestinal lumen and this suggests that phytate may interfere with glucose and amino acid absorption by compromising Na(+)-dependent transport systems and the activity of the Na pump (Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase).”

“In the jejunum, phytate decreased (P < 0.05) the concentrations of amylase, sucrase, Na(+)K(+)-ATPase, and glucose by 10 to 22%, and phytase alleviated the negative effect of phytate on the above variables.”
