The gist of the fructophobes’ argument is that fructose is dangerous because it bypasses the usual checks and balances that control glucose (namely insulin and PFK-1), heads straight to the liver, and turns instantly into fat, slashing and burning precious ATP (energy molecules) along the wa...
Yes, our bodies can create fructose from glucose through the polyol pathway. And while being able to name the pathway isn’t likely to serve you to any great degree, knowing what activates this pathway has profound implications. Yes, we get that fructose consumption opens the door to ...
Avocados are very interesting from the FMr’s perspective… They have more fructose than glucose, but their quantities are soooo small that the ratio doesn’t really matter as long as you don’t eat the whole thing… they are nature’s butter after all … see note 3 And fruit is a litt...
transporter29. Bacterial growth curves showed that deletion ofvca0669did not influence bacterial growth in M9 medium supplemented with 10 or 30 mM glucose, trehalose, maltose, and ribose, respectively (Supplementary Fig.1a–h). However, in M9 medium supplemented with 10 or 30 mM fructose, ...
Light blue arrows show the path of gluconeogenesis from fructose leading to glucose-6-P which, in turn, can produce glucose or be incorporated into glycogen. Full size image Fructose and glucose metabolism converge at the level of the triose-phosphates (Figure 1). The major concerns in ...
Here’s the problem: common wisdom says that sugar is just empty calories and you can get your discretionary calories from anywhere. The problem is that hepatic fructose metabolism is completely different from that of glucose and this is what the first YouTube video went into, in exhausting det...
the isomeric effect of glucose isomerase to get high fructose corn syrup. During the production, to get higher sweet high fructose corn syrup, usually separates the glucose from the mixture and turns it into fructose, which increases the amount of fructose in the mixture. You can clickhigh fruc...
When the body encounters glucose, the liver decides whether to burn it for energy, store it as glycogen, or turn it into triglycerides. When there's a lot of glucose, it is put aside for later. On the other hand, when there's a lot of fructose, it bypasses the "traffic cop" mechan...
xylose isomerase, which turns the sugars to ~50–52% glucose with some unconverted oligosaccharides, and 42% fructose (HFCS 42), and again demineralized and again purified using activated carbon. Some is processed into HFCS 90 by liquid chromatography, then mixed with HFCS 42 to form HFCS 55....
rate (p< 0.001), SDNN (p< 0.008), RMSSD (p< 0.001), pNN50 (p< 0.001) and blood pressure (p< 0.001). Different glucose levels significantly altered parameters of heart-rate variability and blood pressure (allp< 0.001), while the rate of change in blood glucose led to changes in ...
