Image: The transporter GLUT8 (green) is in the outer membrane of liver cells. In mice, blocking GLUT8 stops fructose from entering the liver and protects against nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. The liver cell nuclei are shown in blue (Photo courtesy of Dr. Brian J. DeBosch, Washington University School of Medicine).

Blocking Fructose Transport Prevents Fatty Liver Disease in Mouse Model

A recent paper showed that blocking the action of the facilitative glucose and fructose transporter enzyme GLUT8 could prevent nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in cultured mouse liver tissues.  More...
