Abstract
Summary
Single oral doses of fructose and glycerol administered to normoglycerldeniK-human subjects after a standard fat meal increase the postprandial hvpergiyceridemhi while glucose given in a similar way decreases the serum triglyceride response. It is tentatively suggested that the effect of fructose and glycerol is due to a stimulation of intestinal synthesis of triglycerides from endogenous fatty acids. The opposite effect of glucose might be attributed to an accelerated elimination of triglycerides from the blind possibly mediated by insulin.
