  2. 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]

  3. Hereditary fructose intolerance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hereditary_fructose...

    If fructose is ingested, the enzymatic block at aldolase B causes an accumulation of fructose-1-phosphate which, over time, results in the death of liver cells. [1] This accumulation has downstream effects on gluconeogenesis and regeneration of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). [1]

  4. Fructose bisphosphatase deficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fructose_bisphosphatase...

    This can be accomplished by not fasting for long periods, and eating high-carbohydrate food. They should avoid fructose containing foods (as well as sucrose which breaks down to fructose). As with all single-gene metabolic disorders, there is always hope for genetic therapy, inserting a healthy copy of the gene into existing liver cells.

  5. Fructolysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fructolysis

    Hexokinase IV (Glucokinase), also occurs in the liver and would be capable of phosphorylating fructose to fructose 6-phosphate (an intermediate in the gluconeogenic pathway); however, it has a relatively high Km (12 mM) for fructose and, therefore, essentially all of the fructose is converted to fructose-1-phosphate in the human liver.

  6. Essential fructosuria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essential_fructosuria

    A diagnosis of essential fructosuria is typically made after a positive routine test for reducing sugars in the urine. An additional test with glucose oxidase must also be carried out (with a negative result indicating essential fructosuria) as a positive test for reducing sugars is most often a result of glucosuria secondary to diabetes mellitus.

  7. Fructose intolerance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fructose_intolerance

    Fructose intolerance may refer to: Fructose malabsorption , a digestive disorder of the small intestine in which the fructose carrier in enterocytes is deficient Hereditary fructose intolerance , a hereditary condition caused by a deficiency of liver enzymes that metabolise fructose

  8. List of causes of hypoglycemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_causes_of_hypoglycemia

    Circumstances should provide clues fairly quickly for the new diseases causing severe hypoglycemia. All of the congenital metabolic defects, congenital forms of hyperinsulinism, and congenital hypopituitarism are likely to have already been diagnosed or are unlikely to start causing new hypoglycemia at this age.

  9. Hepatic fructokinase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hepatic_fructokinase

    Hepatic fructokinase (or ketohexokinase) is an enzyme that catalyzes the phosphorylation of fructose to produce fructose-1-phosphate. ATP + {\displaystyle \longrightarrow } ADP + ATP + D-fructose → ADP + D-fructose-1-phosphate [ 1 ]
