Impact of Refined Fructose on Metabolic Health and Liver Fat

Refined fructose can cause health issues like increased hunger, cravings, and fat buildup in the liver, especially when consumed in excess over time, while fructose from fruit is generally safe when eaten with whole fruit.

Abstract Synopsis

  • Fructose intake can impair intestinal barrier function by decreasing the expression of tight junction genes, potentially leading to increased gut permeability, without significantly affecting piglets' growth, inflammation, or antioxidant resistance.
  • The study found that dietary fructose differently alters microbiota composition in the ileum and colon, increasing specific bacteria like Streptococcus and Faecalibacterium in the ileum, and Blautia and Clostridium sensu stricto 1 in the colon.
  • The results suggest that dysfunction of the gut barrier may occur earlier than inflammation or oxidative stress, and changes in gut microbiota could play a role in managing or alleviating fructose-induced increases in intestinal permeability.]
