  2. Fructose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fructose

    Fructose (/ ˈ f r ʌ k t oʊ s,-oʊ z /), or fruit sugar, is a ketonic simple sugar found in many plants, where it is often bonded to glucose to form the disaccharide sucrose.It is one of the three dietary monosaccharides, along with glucose and galactose, that are absorbed by the gut directly into the blood of the portal vein during digestion.

  3. Fructolysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fructolysis

    Fructolysis refers to the metabolism of fructose from dietary sources. Though the metabolism of glucose through glycolysis uses many of the same enzymes and intermediate structures as those in fructolysis, the two sugars have very different metabolic fates in human metabolism.

  4. Carbohydrate metabolism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbohydrate_metabolism

    Humans can consume a variety of carbohydrates, digestion breaks down complex carbohydrates into simple monomers (monosaccharides): glucose, fructose, mannose and galactose. After resorption in the gut , the monosaccharides are transported, through the portal vein , to the liver, where all non-glucose monosacharids (fructose, galactose) are ...

  5. Fructose malabsorption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fructose_malabsorption

    Fructose malabsorption, formerly named dietary fructose intolerance (DFI), is a digestive disorder [1] in which absorption of fructose is impaired by deficient fructose carriers in the small intestine's enterocytes. This results in an increased concentration of fructose. Intolerance to fructose was first identified and reported in 1956. [2]

  6. High-fructose corn syrup - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-fructose_corn_syrup

    High-fructose corn syrup (HFCS), also known as glucose–fructose, isoglucose and glucose–fructose syrup, [1] [2] is a sweetener made from corn starch. As in the production of conventional corn syrup , the starch is broken down into glucose by enzymes.

  7. Disaccharide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disaccharide

    For example, milk sugar (lactose) is a disaccharide made by condensation of one molecule of each of the monosaccharides glucose and galactose, whereas the disaccharide sucrose in sugar cane and sugar beet, is a condensation product of glucose and fructose.

  8. 24 of the best foods for weight loss, recommended by dietitians

    Look for whole grains as the first ingredient, and choose brands that don’t have added sugars, including corn syrup or fructose, listed in the first few ingredients, says Moore.

  9. FODMAP - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FODMAP

    Some FODMAPs, such as fructose, are readily absorbed in the small intestine of humans via GLUT receptors. [19] Absorption thus depends on the appropriate expression and delivery of these receptors in the intestinal enterocyte to both the apical surface, contacting the lumen of the intestine (e.g., GLUT5), and to the basal membrane, contacting the blood (e.g., GLUT2).
