Abstract
Fructose is associated with hyperuricemia and gout development. Focusing on fructose and fructose-containing disaccharides, we investigated the effects of three different types of carbohydrates (fructose, sucrose, and isomaltulose) on uric acid metabolism and gene expression profiling in peripheral white blood cells. In a randomized crossover study, ten healthy participants ingested test drinks of fructose, sucrose, and isomaltulose, each containing 25 g of fructose. Plasma glucose, serum and urine uric acid, and xanthine/hypoxanthine concentrations were measured. Microarray analysis in peripheral white blood cells and real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction were examined at 0 and 120 in after the intake of test drinks. Serum uric acid concentrations for group fructose were significantly higher than group sucrose at 30-120 min and were significantly higher than those for group isomaltulose at 30-240 min. Several genes involved in the "nuclear factor-kappa B signaling pathway" were markedly changed in group fructose. No significant differences in the mRNA expression levels of tumor necrosis factor, nuclear factor-kappa B, interleukin-1β, and interleukin-18 were noted. This study indicated that fructose intake (monosaccharide) elevated serum uric acid concentrations compared with disaccharide intake. Differences in the quality of carbohydrates might reduce the rapid increase of postprandial serum uric acid concentrations.

J Clin Biochem Nutr 2021; 69:68-76.

Abstract
We aimed to determine the impact of high-fructose intake during pregnancy on the fetal-placental unit in rats, which may be the initial mechanism of the programming effect of fructose. Pregnant Sprague–Dawley rats were randomly assigned to three groups and respectively provided tap water (n = 10), 10% (w/v) fructose solution (n = 10), and 10% (w/v) glucose solution (n = 10) from embryonic day 0 to 20. Compared with the control and glucose groups, significantly lower fetal length, fetal weight, placental weight, and fetus/placenta ratio were found in the fructose group on embryonic day 20 (all p<0.05). In parallel with markedly increased uric acid concentrations in the dams, significantly decreased antioxidant enzymes activities and mRNA expression levels were observed in placentas in the fructose group (all p<0.05). In the fructose group, placental mRNA and protein expression of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 was markedly downregulated and kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 was significantly upregulated (all p<0.05). In conclusion, high-fructose consumption during pregnancy drives augmented oxidative stress in rats. Placental insufficiency under oxidative stress contributes to asymmetrical fetal growth restriction.
