Fructose metabolism is unique and can cause transient intracellular energy deficit.
Fructose is metabolized by fructokinase, which phosphorylates fructose at the one position.
High concentrations of fructose lead to ATP depletion and the accumulation of uric acid, causing oxidative stress and metabolic effects.
📚 Fructose lowers energy levels by depleting ATP, turning off fat oxidation and promoting fat storage.
🍞 High glucose levels can lead to the production of fructose in the body, contributing to metabolic disease.
🔬 Leptin resistance, caused by fructose metabolism and inflammation, is a key factor in obesity and metabolic syndrome.
Fructose metabolism plays a key role in driving metabolic diseases.
Blocking fructokinase leads to weight gain and metabolic syndrome due to increased caloric intake.
Fructose consumption stimulates hunger and decreases resting energy metabolism, contributing to obesity.
📝 Fructose consumption can contribute to metabolic disease and aging-associated kidney changes.
🔬 Fructokinase knockout mice showed no aging changes in the kidney and had lower blood pressure.
🍽️ Restricting fructose intake can improve non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and metabolic syndrome.
Absorption and metabolism of fructose vary depending on weight and prior sugar exposure.
Higher intake of sugar leads to greater absorption of fructose.
The polyol pathway is activated over time, contributing to metabolic syndrome.
High blood pressure is an inflammatory disease driven by inflammation in the kidneys.
Elevated uric acid levels contribute to high blood pressure and can be lowered with medication.
Reducing salt and sugar intake, along with exercise, can help manage hypertension.
🍎 Sugar and fructose consumption can cause an acute increase in blood pressure in humans and animals.
🍟 Salty foods stimulate fructose production, leading to high blood pressure, obesity, and insulin resistance in animals and humans.
🚰 The salt concentration in the blood activates the polyol pathway, converting glucose to fructose and contributing to metabolic syndrome.
🍬 Vasopressin, a hormone produced in the brain, plays a role in obesity by binding to the v1b receptor and promoting fat storage.
