Abstract

New research demonstrates the crucial role of endogenous fructose production and metabolism in the development of fatty liver and the metabolic syndrome. Reporting in Nature Communications, Miguel Lanaspa and colleagues show that the metabolic conversion of glucose (consumed in drinking water) to endogenous fructose in the liver is a key step in the development of glucose-induced obesity and fatty liver in mice.
