Fructose intolerance refers to both hereditary fructose intolerance and fructose malabsorption. Fructose malabsorption is a condition in which intestinal cells needed to absorb the fructose are deficient. Previously, fructose malabsorption was incorrectly referred to as fructose intolerance. Hereditary fructose intolerance results in an inability of the body to digest fructose, because the appropriate liver enzymes are not able to break down fruit sugar.

The hepatic metabolism of fructose, also known as fructolysis, has important effects on both glucose and lipid metabolism. Although metabolism of fructose through fructolysis uses many of the same enzymes as the metabolism of glucose through glycolysis, the two sugars have very different metabolic fates in human metabolism.

Fructose malabsorption, previously known as dietary fructose intolerance (DFI), is a case where absorption of fruit sugar is impaired due to deficiency of fructose carriers in the small intestines. This mainly results in fructose accumulating around the intestine to a high concentration. In normal circumstances, a human intestine can absorb about 25-50 g of fructose per meal or fruit intake. Therefore these who are unable to absorb 25 g of fructose per sitting are taken to suffer from fructose malabsorption. Read the rest of this entry »

Fructose, also known as fruit sugar, levulose, and laevulose, is a simple monosaccharide which the body can use for energy. It is often found in combination with glucose as the disaccharide sucrose (table sugar), a readily transportable and mobilizable sugar that is stored in the cells of many plants, such as sugar beets and sugarcane. In animals, fructose may also be utilized as an energy source, and phosphate derivatives of fructose participate in carbohydrate metabolism. Read the rest of this entry »
