Fructose

Fructose is a simple ketonic monosaccharide found in many plants, where it is often bonded to glucose to form the disaccharide sucrose.

How to use

In Vitro:

Fructose, at low concentrations do not cause any significant increase of Tissue factor (TF)-mRNA levels. On the contrary, higher Fructose concentrations cause increase in TF mRNA levels at 60 min, as compare to unstimulated cells. Increasing Fructose concentrations causes significant decrease of tPA-mRNA levels. SOD significantly prevents Fructose induced NF-κB activation which is associated with the parallel reduction of Fructose-induced TF expression/activity.

In Vivo:

In mice fed 0% Fructose, portal (0.060±0.006 mM, overall mean for all time points) and systemic (0.030±0.003 mM) Fructose concentrations do not vary with time after feeding. In contrast, portal concentrations in wild-type mice consuming 20% Fructose increase by more than twofold from time (t)=0 to t=1 h after feeding (~0.13 mM). Likewise, systemic serum Fructose goes from 0.037 at t=0 to 0.13 mM 1 h after feeding. Fasted (t=0) serum Fructose in the 20% group is similar to postprandial concentrations in the 0% mice for both portal and systemic levels, suggesting that the baseline Fructose concentration during fasting is not affected by diet. Serum Fructose concentrations in KHK-/- mice are 5- to 100-fold greater than those in wild-type mice for the same diet, time, and sample location. Mean (for all time points) portal and systemic glucose concentrations in mice fed 20% Fructose are ~3 (P=0.004) and ~2 (P=0.04) mM greater, respectively, than those in mice fed 0%. Systemic Fructose concentrations are approximately threefold greater in KHK-/- mice fed Fructose compare with those fed glucose, but are similar between glucose- and Fructose-fed wild-type mice.
