Central and Metabolic Effects of High Fructose Consumption: Evidence from Animal and Human Studies

Fructose consumption has increased dramatically in the last 40 years, and its role in the pathogenesis of the metabolic syndrome has been implicated by many studies. It is most often encountered in the diet as sucrose (glucose and fructose) or high-fructose corn syrup (55% fructose). At high levels, dietary exposure to fructose triggers a series of metabolic changes originating in the liver, le...

Metabolic effects of fructose and the worldwide increase in obesity.

While virtually absent in our diet a few hundred years ago, fructose has now become a major constituent of our modern diet. Our main sources of fructose are sucrose from beet or cane, high fructose corn syrup, fruits, and honey. Fructose has the same chemical formula as glucose (C(6)H(12)O(6)), but its metabolism differs markedly from that of glucose due to its almost complete hepatic extractio...

Inhibition of fructose diphosphate aldolase by phosphatidylserine liposomes.

Phosphatides and their cleavage products modulate the activities of a variety of proteins, including glycolytic enzymes. Very abundant glycolytic enzyme fructose bis-phosphate aldolase was found to be strongly inhibited by phosphatidylinositol (PI) in the form of liposomes, which was interpreted as a result of electrostatic interaction of the protein with t h e negatively charged liposomes (Gut...
