S. Panserat et al., Dietary fructose does not specifically induce hepatic glucokinase expression in rainbow trout, J FISH BIOL, 59(2), 2001, pp. 455-458
Glucokinase (GK) catalyses the first step of hepatic glycolysis to store th
e excess dietary glucose. After rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss were fed
a single meal with dietary glucose and fructose, there was induction of GK
expression, although no specific effect of dietary fructose was observed. T
his suggested that dietary fructose is not essential to improve dietary glu
cose utilization. (C) 2001 The Fisheries Society of the British Isles.
