Hereditary fructose intolerance is an autosomal recessive disorder that is caused by a deficiency in fructose-1-phosphate aldolase (Aldolase B). Children can present with hypoglycemia, jaundice, elevated liver enzymes and hepatomegaly after intake of dietary fructose. Long-term intake of fructose in undiagnosed patients can result in hepatic failure or renal failure. We experienced a case of he...

INTRODUCTION Fructose intake has increased dramatically in consequence of the consumption of fructose-based sweetened foods and beverages. Research suggests that high fructose intake has a strong association with uric acid (UA) levels and worse prognosis of chronic kidney disease (CKD). OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of fructose intake on plasma UA levels in ...

the aim of the study was to evaluate changes of sorbitol, glucose, fructose, sucrose, and total sugars of plum fruits in different years under different climatic conditions i.e. air temperature and precipitation. the cultivars investigated in the research were: topstar, toptaste, jojo, haganta, tophit, and top 2000. the fruits were harvested at optimal stage of maturity in the experimental orch...

background: urtica dioica has been used as antihypertensive, antihyperlipidemic and antidiabetic herbal medicine. the purpose of this study was to study the effect of hydroalcoholic extract of urtica dioica on fructose-induced insulin resistance rats. methods: forty male wistar rats were randomly divided into five groups including control, fructose, extract 50, extract 100 and extract 200. the ...

Fructose is a sugar present in sucrose, high-fructose corn syrup, honey, and fruits. Fructose intake has increased markedly in the last two centuries, primarily due to increased intake of added sugars. Increasing evidence suggests that the excessive intake of fructose may induce fatty liver, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and kidney disease. These studies suggest that excessive...

We examined the role of fructose in the development of diabetic complications. Compared with glucose, fructose increased the fluorescence intensity and the cross-linking of glycated collagen, and promoted the polymerization of proteins. Therefore fructose accelerated the production of advanced glycation end-products more than glucose. In addition, fructose enhanced the reactive oxygen or oxygen...

The objective of this study was to identify reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated from the exposure of fructose solution to the 254 nm ultraviolet (UV) light and evaluate whether fructose can be used as a photosensitizer for accelerated photo-degradation of diuron and chlorpyrifos. We demonstrated that hydrogen peroxide, singlet oxygen ((1)O2) and acidic photolysis products were generated upo...

What do the Atkins Diet and the traditional Japanese diet have in common? The Atkins Diet is low in carbohydrate and usually high in fat; the Japanese diet is high in carbohydrate and usually low in fat. Yet both work to promote weight loss. One commonality of both diets is that they both eliminate the monosaccharide fructose. Sucrose (table sugar) and its synthetic sister high fructose corn sy...

Carbohydrate availability in the form of muscle and liver glycogen is an important determinant of performance during prolonged bouts of moderate- to high-intensity exercise. Therefore, when effective endurance performance is an objective on multiple occasions within a 24-h period, the restoration of endogenous glycogen stores is the principal factor determining recovery. This review considers t...

A number of studies have brought to light the fact that substitution of fructose for glucose as the sole carbohydrate in a diet results in a profound change in the metabolic behavior of an animal. Thus, the ability of the liver of a glucose-fed, diabetic rat to convert acetate carbon to fatty acids is considerably impaired (l), but when the glucose of the animal’s diet is replaced by fructose, ...
