RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 Intestinal fructose and glucose metabolism in health and disease A1 Merino Antolín, Beatriz A1 Fernández Díaz, Cristina María A1 Cózar Castellano, Irene A1 Perdomo Hernández, Germán K1 Fructose K1 Fructosa K1 Glucose K1 Glucosa K1 Intestine K1 Intestino AB The worldwide epidemics of obesity and diabetes have been linked to increased sugar consumption in humans. Here, we review fructose and glucose metabolism, as well as potential molecular mechanisms by which excessive sugar consumption is associated to metabolic diseases and insulin resistance in humans. To this end, we focus on understanding molecular and cellular mechanisms of fructose and glucose transport and sensing in the intestine, the intracellular signaling effects of dietary sugar metabolism, and its impact on glucose homeostasis in health and disease. Finally, the peripheral and central effects of dietary sugars on the gut–brain axis will be reviewed.
