Short-term fructose restriction in children with obesity decreased liver fat, de novo lipogenesis, and visceral adipose tissue, while improving insulin kinetics.

“compared with baseline on day 10. liver fat decreased from a median of 7.2 percent to 3.8 percent great the um de novo lipogenesis the dnl area under the curve decreased from 68 percent to 26 percent anova lipogenesis is the biochemical process in the liver by which fructose is made into fat so that is not a good thing generally it happens at a very very low rate in humans and again this is not the dnl rate it is just the dnl the nova lipogenesis area under the curve and the insulin kinetics improved these changes occurred irrespective of baseline liver fats the conclusions are short term nine days iso caloric so same calories no calorie restriction here fructose fructose restriction decreased liver fat good thing visceral adipose tissue good thing andenova lipogenesis all good things and improved insulin kinetics in children with obesity”
