I am a bit confused as to why fructose was converted to lactate in the liver though. Wouldn’t fructose generally be phosphorylated, split into trioses, converted to glucose, and ultimately directed to liver glycogen synthesis? Personally, I would assume that the lactate present in the liver would likely be a result of the Cori cycle (i.e. from skeletal muscle), and that the lactate would be converted to pyruvate and eventually glucose in the liver. Would like to hear your thoughts on this!
