The Claim
In male mice with liver-specific androgen receptor knockout, a high-fructose diet induces compensatory increases in insulin-stimulated AKT phosphorylation in white adipose tissue due to fructose-induced impairment of glucokinase and glycogen synthase.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
In male mice lacking androgen receptors in the liver, a high-fructose diet increases insulin-stimulated AKT phosphorylation in white fat tissue as a result of reduced glucokinase and glycogen synthase activity.
See the scientific wording
In male mice with liver-specific androgen receptor knockout, a high-fructose diet may induce compensatory increases in insulin-stimulated AKT phosphorylation in white adipose tissue, potentially as a response to underlying metabolic disruption from fructose-induced impairment of glucokinase and glycogen synthase.
When the liver cannot process fructose properly due to impaired enzymes, it sends signals that cause fat tissue to become more sensitive to insulin, so more sugar gets pulled out of the blood and stored as fat to prevent high blood sugar.
What the research says
1 studyIn male mice without a key liver receptor, eating a lot of fructose made their fat tissue respond more strongly to insulin — as if their bodies were trying to make up for sugar metabolism problems caused by the diet.
