Fructose, a simple monosaccharide, plays a significant role in human metabolism. Structurally, it is a hexose sugar with a ketone functional group, often referred to as a "ketohexose." Fructose naturally occurs in a wide range of foods, including fruits, honey, and some vegetables, and is commonly used in the form of high-fructose corn syrup in many processed foods. Its unique sweetness, surpassing that of glucose and sucrose, makes it a popular choice in the food industry. Metabolically, fructose is primarily metabolized in the liver, where it is converted into glucose, lactate, and fatty acids, affecting energy storage and regulation.
Figure 1. The Structure of Fructose
Research on fructose has expanded significantly over the past decades due to growing concerns regarding its potential health impacts. Excessive fructose consumption has been linked to metabolic disorders such as insulin resistance, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Studies have shown that fructose is metabolized differently from glucose, bypassing certain regulatory steps that control blood sugar levels. This unregulated pathway contributes to lipogenesis and can lead to the accumulation of fat in the liver and other tissues. As a result, understanding fructose metabolism and its effects on human health has become a critical area of research.
Given the increasing consumption of fructose in modern diets and its associated health risks, comprehensive analysis of fructose levels in biological samples, food products, and metabolic studies is essential. Accurate fructose analysis is crucial for investigating its role in metabolic pathways, assessing dietary intake, and understanding its contribution to various metabolic diseases.
