Hereditary fructose
intolerance (HFI) or fructose poisoning is a hereditary
condition caused by a deficiency of liver enzymes that
metabolise fructose. It is also known as hereditary
fructosemia, or fructose in the blood (-emia means in
the blood).
The deficient enzyme is aldolase-B, which converts
fructose-1-phosphate to DHAP and glyceraldehyde. This
means that the fructose cannot be further metabolised
beyond fructose-1-phosphate. This traps phosphates;
which are needed to phosphorylate glycogen phosphorylase
which carries on to release units of glucose-1-phosphate
from glycogen. (Glucose-1-phosphate gets converted to
glucose-6-phosphate and then dephosphorylated to form
glucose).
In addition, Aldolase A plays an important role in
gluconeogenesis, producing fructose-1,6-bisphosphate
from glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate and DHAP. But, glucose
may still be released through the breakdown of glycogen.
Although, it cannot be synthesized from gluconeogenesis,
resulting in severe hypoglycaemia. |
