Source sentences:
text: Unlike glucose, which is directly metabolized widely in the body, fructose is almost entirely metabolized in the liver in humans, where it is directed toward replenishment of liver glycogen and triglyceride synthesis.
text: Fructose is metabolised in the liver into fatty acids, which are then transported as very low density lipoproteins (VLDLs) and are then converted into circulating intermediate density lipoproteins (IDLs) and then converted into low density lipoproteins (LDLs).
text: Even so, fructose tends to be metabolized differently than glucose.
