| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Excess intake of fructose is reported to cause dysmetabolic syndrome. We studied the role of glucose activated transcription factor, ChREBP, in fructose metabolism. We identified that ChREBP induces genes expression related to fructose metabolism and thereby promotes fructose uptake and its breakdown in intestine and conversion into other metabolites in liver. Fructose (Fruit sugar) has more potent cytotoxicity because of increased advanced glycation end product (AGE) production. This study showed that intestinal and hepatic ChREBP function has an important role in protecting from fructose toxicity.
