Resumen:

Fructose is a monosaccharide found naturally in fruits and honey and is also a major constituent in added sugars, including sucrose and high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS). Fructose can also be produced in the gut by degradation of fructose polymers (fructans) by bacteria-containing fructanases. Finally, fructose can be generated from dietary sorbitol or from glucose by the polyol (aldose reductase-sorbitol dehydrogenase) pathway. Currently, the major dietary source of fructose is from added sugars, especially in the adolescent and young adult population. However, increasing evidence suggests that endogenously produced fructose may also be important in the pathogenesis of kidney disease. In this chapter, we will review the current evidence for fructose in driving hypertension and kidney disease. © 2015 by Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
