text: Fructose is metabolized almost completely in the liver in humans, and is directed toward replenishment of liver glycogen and triglyceride synthesis, while much of dietary glucose passes through the liver and goes to skeletal muscle, where it is metabolized to CO 2 , H 2 O and ATP, and to fat cells where it is metabolized primarily to glycerol phosphate for triglyceride synthesis as well as energy production.
text: Fructose can only be metabolized by the liver and can’t be used for energy by your body’s cells.
text: Fructose is only metabolized in the liver and relies on fructokinase to initiate metabolism.
text: More specifically, fructose is preferentially metabolized in the liver while glucose is consumed primarily in the brain.
text: Therefore, almost all fructose is metabolized in the liver via the fructose 1-phosphate pathway involving the enzymes fructokinase, aldolase, and triokinase (Figure 1).
text: Metabolic pathway and the liver: Fructose is metabolized almost exclusively in the liver.
text: All the fructose must be metabolized in the liver.
text: Perhaps the most important difference is that fructose tends to be metabolized in the liver, while glucose is metabolized in every cell in the body.
text: However, all fructose must be metabolized in the liver.
text: By contrast, fructose is metabolized almost exclusively in the liver.
text: Fructose on the other hand has to be metabolized in the liver.
text: Fructose has attracted particular concern, due to several unique metabolic and neuroendocrine properties: 1) it is metabolized almost exclusively in the liver (6); 2) it serves as a substrate for de novo lipogenesis and drives hepatic triglyceride (TG) synthesis and accumulation (7, 8); 3) it engages in non‐enzymatic fructation and reactive oxygen species formation which causes cellular dysfunction (9); 4) it does not suppress the hunger hormone ghrelin, resulting in excessive consumption (10); and 5) it stimulates the nucleus accumbens resulting in increased reward and continued ingestion (11).
text: However, all fructose must be metabolized in the liver.
text: Fructose is metabolized by the liver much more quickly than other sugars.
text: Fructose, on the other hand, must be metabolized by the liver.
text: According to Dr. Axe, "fructose is widely considered the most dangerous sugar in the body because it is so rapidly metabolized by the liver.
text: Many people lately have been told, as part of a campaign to explain the high incidence of fatty liver degeneration in the US, supposedly resulting from eating too much sugar, that fructose can be metabolized only by the liver.
text: Fructose, on the other hand, must be metabolized by the liver.
