Explanation / Answer

High fructose intake is usually associated with obesity & metabolic disorders. However, its effect on lipid metabolism and insulin sensitivity (IS) has not been evaluated.

In the present study, the effect of fructose on ectopic lipid accumulation and IS was evaluated in 7 healthy volunteers. The volunteers were given a high fructose diet (1.5g fructose/ kgbodywt d) and IS, Intrahepatocellular lipids (IHCL) & Intramyocellular lipids (IMCL) were determined after 1 and 4 wks of administration. Adipose tissue IS, hepatic IS & muscle IS were found out from supression of non-esterified fatty acid, hepatic glucose output & body glucose disposal rate, respectively. 1H magnetic resonance spectroscopy was used to estimate IHCL & IMCL.

It was observed that, a moderate increase in fructose intake causes significant (P< 0.05) increase in plasma concentrations of triacylglycerol (36%), VLDL triacylglycerol (72%), leptin (48%), lactate (49%) & glucose concentration (5.5%). No significant change in IS, IHCL or IMCL was observed.

Hence, fructose intake alters lipid metabolism without causing ectopic lipid accumulation or insulin resistance in healthy humans.
