Nathan Goodyear on 01 Oct 13Vicious cycle. High fructose intake increases uric acid production. Hyperuricemia then leads to further Fructose metabolism. This study finds that Hyperuricemia upregulates the fructokinase enzyme that is the first step in fructose metabolism. This upregulation will increase fructose metabolism and increase fat accumulation in the liver.
