Mol. Nutr. Food Res. 2018, 62 , 1701012 DOI: 10.1002/mnfr.201701012 Phytochemicals can directly affect intestinal glucose uptake by competitive inhibition of sugar transporters. Anti‐hyperglycemic properties have been so far reported for guava leaves, but there is little understanding of guava fruit extracts in this context. Therefore, the effects of different guava leaf and fruit extracts in vitro and in vivo were tested. The data indicate that guava extracts potentially contribute to moderate regulation of blood glucose levels by direct inhibition of intestinal glucose transporters.
