High fructose consumption is associated with obesity and characteristics of metabolic syndrome. This includes insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, type II diabetes and hepatic steatosis, the hepatic component of metabolic syndrome. Short term high fructose consumption in healthy humans is considered as a study model to increase intrahepatocellular lipids (IHCL). Protein supplementation added to a short term high fructose diet exerts a protective role on hepatic fat accumulation. Fructose disposal after an acute fructose load is well established. However, fructose disposal is usually studied when a high intake of fructose is ingested. Interaction of fructose with other macronutrients on fructose disposal is not clearly established. We wanted to assess how fructose disposal is modulated with nutritional factors. For the first study, we addressed the question of how would essential amino acid (EAA) supplemented to a high fructose diet have an impact on hepatic fat accumulation? We tried to distinguish which metabolic pathways were responsible for the increase in IHCL induced by high fructose intake and how those pathways would be modulated by EAA. After 6 days of hypercaloric high fructose diet, we observed, as expected an increase in IHCL modulated by an increase in VLDL-triglycerides and an increase in VLDL-13C-palmitate production. When adding a supplementation in EAA, we observed a decrease in IHCL but we could not define which mechanism was responsible for this process. With the second study, we were interested to observe fructose disposal after a test meal that contained lipid, protein and a physiologic dose of fructose co-ingested or not with glucose. When ingested with other macronutrients, hepatic fructose disposal is similar as when ingested as pure fructose. It induced oxidation, gluconeogenesis followed by glycogen synthesis, conversion into lactate and to a minor extent by de novo lipogenesis. When co- ingested with glucose decreased fructose oxidation as well as gluconeogenesis and an increased glycogen synthesis without affecting de novo lipogenesis or lactate. We were also able to observe induction of intestinal de novo lipogenesis with both fructose and fructose co- ingested with glucose. In summary, essential amino acids supplementation blunted increase in hepatic fat content induced by a short term chronic fructose overfeeding. However, EAA failed to improve other cardiovascular risk factors. Under isocaloric condition and in the frame of an acute test meal, physiologic dose of fructose associated with other macronutrients led to the same fructose disposal as when fructose is ingested alone. When co-ingested with glucose, we observed a decrease in fructose oxidation and gluconeogenesis as well as an increased in glycogen storage without affecting other metabolic pathways. - Une consommation élevée en fructose est associée à l'obésité et aux caractéristiques du syndrome métabolique. Ces dernières incluent une résistance à l'insuline, une dyslipidémie, un diabète de type II et la stéatose hépatique, composant hépatique du syndrome métabolique. À court terme une forte consommation en fructose chez l'homme sain est considérée comme un modèle d'étude pour augmenter la teneur en graisse hépatique. Une supplémentation en protéines ajoutée à une alimentation riche en fructose de courte durée a un effet protecteur sur l'accumulation des graisses au niveau du foie. Le métabolisme du fructose après une charge de fructose aiguë est bien établi. Toutefois, ce dernier est généralement étudié quand une consommation élevée de fructose est donnée. L'interaction du fructose avec d'autres macronutriments sur le métabolisme du fructose n'est pas connue. Nous voulions évaluer la modulation du métabolisme du fructose par des facteurs nutritionnels. Pour la première étude, nous avons abordé la question de savoir quel impact aurait une supplémentation en acides aminés essentiels (AEE) associé à une alimentation riche en fructose sur l'accumulation des graisses hépatiques. Nous avons essayé de distinguer les voies métaboliques responsables de l'augmentation des graisses hépatiques induite par l'alimentation riche en fructose et comment ces voies étaient modulées par les AEE. Après 6 jours d'une alimentation hypercalorique riche en fructose, nous avons observé, comme attendu, une augmentation des graisses hépatiques modulée par une augmentation des triglycérides-VLDL et une augmentation de la production de VLDL-13C-palmitate. Lors de la supplémentation en AEE, nous avons observé une diminution des graisses hépatiques mais les mécanismes responsables de ce processus n'ont pas pu être mis en évidence. Avec la seconde étude, nous nous sommes intéressés à observer le métabolisme du fructose après un repas test contenant des lipides, des protéines et une dose physiologique de fructose co-ingéré ou non avec du glucose. Lorsque le fructose était ingéré avec les autres macronutriments, le devenir hépatique du fructose était similaire à celui induit par du fructose pur. Il a induit une oxydation, suivie d'une néoglucogenèses, une synthèse de glycogène, une conversion en lactate et dans une moindre mesure une lipogenèse de novo. Lors de la co-ngestion avec du glucose, nous avons observé une diminution de l'oxydation du fructose et de la néoglucogenèse et une augmentation de la synthèse du glycogène, sans effet sur la lipogenèse de novo ni sur le lactate. Nous avons également pu mettre en évidence que le fructose et le fructose ingéré de façon conjointe avec du glucose ont induit une lipogenèse de novo au niveau de l'intestin. En résumé, la supplémentation en acides aminés essentiels a contrecarré l'augmentation de la teneur en graisse hépatique induite par une suralimentation en fructose sur le court terme. Cependant, la supplémentation en AEE a échoué à améliorer d'autres facteurs de risque cardiovasculaires. Dans la condition isocalorique et dans le cadre d'un repas test aiguë, la dose physiologique de fructose associée à d'autres macronutriments a conduit aux mêmes aboutissants du métabolisme du fructose que lorsque le fructose est ingéré seul. Lors de la co-ngestion avec le glucose, une diminution de l'oxydation du fructose est de la néoglucogenèse est observée en parallèle à une augmentation de la synthèse de glycogène sans affecter les autres voies métaboliques.

Abstract : Fructose is a simple sugar, whose consumption has increased over the past decades. In rodents, a high-fructose diet (HFrD) induces several features of the metabolic syndrome. The aim of the studies included in this thesis was to investigate the metabolic effects of a HFrD in humans, with a focus on insulin sensitivity and ectopic fat deposition. Moreover, we addressed the question whether these effects may differ between individuals according to gender and the genetic background. The first study was designed to evaluate the impact of a 4-week HFrD on insulin sensitivity and lipid metabolism in 7 healthy men. Insulin sensitivity, intrahepatocellular lipids (IHCL) and intramyocellular lipids (IMCL) contents were measured before and after 1 and 4 weeks of HFrD (1.5 g fructose/kg body weight/day). Insulin sensitivity was assessed by a 2-step hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp. IHCL and IMCL were measured by 1H-magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS). Fructose caused significant (P<0.05) increases in fasting plasma concentrations of triacylglycerol (TG) (+36%), VLDL-TG (+72%) and glucose (+6%) without any change in body weight, IHCL, IMCL, and insulin sensitivity. In the second study, muscle biopsies were taken from five of these healthy male subjects before and after 4 weeks of HFrD. mRNA concentrations of 18 genes involved in lipid and carbohydrate metabolism were quantified by real-time quantitative PCR. We found that a 4-week HFrD increased the expression of genes involved in lipid synthesis, while it decreased those involved in insulin sensitivity and lipid oxidation; these molecular changes maybe early markers of insulin resistance and altered lipid metabolism. The third study aimed at delineating whether male and females equally respond to a HFrD. For this purpose, higher doses of fructose (twice the dose of the previous study) were provided to 8 healthy young males and 8 healthy young females over 6 days. HFrD significantly increased fasting TG in males (+71 %), whereas this increase was markedly blunted in females (+16%). Males also developed hepatic insulin resistance, characterized by increased hepatic glucose output (+12%), and showed higher alanine aminotransferase concentration (+38%), but none of these effect was observed in females. This study suggests that short-term HFrD leads to hypertriglyceridemia and hepatic insulin resistance in men, but premenopausal women seem protected against these effects. Finally, the fourth study investigated whether healthy offspring of type 2 diabetic patients (OffT2D), a subgroup of individuals prone to metabolic disorders due to their genetic background, may have exacerbated response to HFrD. Eight healthy males (Ctrl) and 16 OffT2D received a HFrD and isocaloric diet in a randomized order. In both groups, HFrD significantly increased IHCL (Ctrl: +76%; OffT2D: +79%) and fasting plasma VLDL-TG (Ctrl: +51 %; OffT2D: +110%). In absolute values, these increments were significantly higher in OffT2D, suggesting that these individuals may be more prone to developing metabolic disorders when challenged by high fructose intake. In order to better delineate the specific effects of fructose vs the hypercaloric energy content, we repeated the complete metabolic investigations after an isocaloric high glucose diet in four of the eight Ctrl volunteers. After a high glucose diet, TG and IHCL concentrations remained similar to the control values, in contrast to the marked increases observed after the HFrD. In conclusion, the studies included in this thesis provided novel insights into the metabolic effects of fructose in humans. They showed that fructose may rapidly increase fasting VLDL-TG, IHCL and lead to hepatic insulin resistance; these effects seem specific to fructose, and potential mechanisms may involve both stimulation of hepatic de novo lipogenesis and decreased lipid oxidation. Moreover, the results suggest that women seem protected against such deleterious effects, while OffT2D displayed exacerbated response. Résumé : Le fructose est un sucre simple, dont la consommation a augmenté durant les dernières décennies. Dans les modèles animaux, un régime riche en fructose (RRFru) peut induire plusieurs composantes du syndrome métabolique. Le but de cette thèse était d'étudier les effets d'un régime riche en fructose sur la sensibilité à l'insuline et la déposition de lipides ectopiques chez l'humain, et si ces effets variaient selon le genre ou le background génétique. La première étude avait pour but d'évaluer l'effet d'un RRFru d'une durée de 4 semaines sur la sensibilité à l'insuline et le métabolisme des lipides chez des hommes sains. La sensibilité à l'insuline, les lipides intrahépatiques (IHCL) et intramusculaires (IMCL) ont été mesurés avant, et après 1 et 4 semaines du RRFru (1.5 g fructose/kg/jour). La sensibilité à l'insuline a été déterminée par un clamp hyperinsulinémique euglycémique, et les IHCL/IMCL par spectroscopie à résonnance magnétique. Le fructose a augmenté les concentrations plasmatiques à jeun des VLDL- triglycérides (TG) (+72%) et de glucose (+6%), sans induire de changement au niveau de la sensibilité à l'insuline, IHCL ou IMCL. Dans la deuxième étude, des biopsies de muscle squelettique ont été prélevées chez cinq de ces volontaires avant et après les 4 semaines de RRFru. Les concentrations de mRNA de 18 gènes impliqués dans le métabolisme des lipides et des hydrates de carbone ont été mesurées par RT-PCR quantitative. Le RRFru a augmenté l'expression de gènes impliqués dans la synthèse de lipides, et diminué celles de gènes impliqués dans la sensibilité à l'insuline et l'oxydation de lipides. Ces changements pourraient constituer des altérations précoces de la sensibilité à l'insuline et du métabolisme lipidique en réponse au fructose. La troisième étude avait pour but de définir si les réponses au RRFru étaient semblables entre les hommes et les femmes. Pour ceci, des doses plus élevées de fructose ont été administrées à 8 jeunes hommes et 8 jeunes femmes durant 6 jours. Le RRFru a augmenté les TG chez les hommes (+71 %), et de manière nettement plus modeste chez les femmes (+16%). Les hommes ont développé une résistance hépatique à l'insuline, ainsi qu'une augmentation des concentrations d'alanine aminotransférase (+38%), mais aucun de ces effets n'a été observé chez les femmes. Cette étude suggère qu'à court terme, un RRFru mène à une hypertriglycéridémie et résistance hépatique à l'insuline chez l'homme, tandis que les femmes semblent en être protégées. Finalement, la 4ème étude a investigué si des personnes apparentées à des patients diabétiques de type 2 (AppDT2), qui constituent un groupe d'individus à risque de développer des maladies métaboliques en raison de leur background génétique, avaient des réponses plus marquées au RRFru. Huit hommes sains (Ctrl) et 16 AppDT2 on reçu dans un ordre randomisé un RRFru et une diète isocalorique durant 6 jours. Dans les deux groupes, le RRFru a augmenté significativement les IHCL (Ctrl: +76%; AppDT2: +79%) et les VLDL-TG plasmatiques à jeun (Ctrl: +51%; AppDT2: +110%). En valeurs absolues, ces deux augmentations étaient plus importantes dans le groupe des AppDT2, suggérant que ces individus sont plus à risque de développer des problèmes métaboliques suite à un apport de fructose. Afin de définir les effets spécifiques du fructose, quatre des huit sujets Ctrl ont été soumis à un régime riche en glucose. Après le régime riche en glucose, les concentrations de TG et d'IHCL étaient semblables aux valeurs obtenues après une diète isocalorique, contrairement aux nombreux effets observés après le RRFru. En conclusion, ces différentes études ont démontré que chez l'humain, le fructose peut rapidement induire une augmentation des VLDL-TG à jeun, des IHCL et une résistance hépatique à l'insuline ; ces effets semblent être spécifiques au fructose. De plus, les différents résultats obtenus montrent que les femmes développent des effets moindres en réponse au fructose, contrairement aux AppDT2, chez qui les effets du fructose semblent plus marqués. Résumé grand public : Le fructose est un sucre simple, présent naturellement et en faibles quantités dans les fruits, mais également constituant du sucrose - appelé aussi sucre de table. Depuis les années 1970, la consommation de fructose a augmenté dans les pays industrialisés et émergents, principalement par le biais d'une hausse de consommation de boissons sucrées de type soda. Dans des modèles animaux tels que les rongeurs, un régime riche en fructose mène au développement de plusieurs facteurs de risques étroitement liés aux maladies cardiovasculaires, à l'obésité et au diabète de type 2; ceux-ci sont caractérisés par une augmentation des concentrations de glucose et de lipides sanguins, ainsi qu'une accumulation de lipides dits « ectopiques », à savoir dans le foie et les muscles. Le but de cette thèse était de définir les effets d'un régime riche en fructose chez l'être humain. De plus, nous nous sommes intéressés à savoir si ces effets étaient semblables entre différents groupes d'individus, à savoir des personnes de sexe masculin / féminin, ou des personnes dont au moins un des parents est diabétique de type 2. Pour ceci, différents groupes de volontaires (hommes, femmes, avec histoire familiale de diabète de type 2) âgés de 18-30 ans se sont soumis à une alimentation enrichie en fructose, d'une durée allant de 6 à 28 jours, suivant l'étude à laquelle ils participaient. La quantité de fructose consommée en plus de l'alimentation normale durant ces périodes équivalait au contenu en fructose de 2-4 litres de boissons sucrées par jour. Des prises de sang ont été effectuées au terme de chacun de ces différents régimes, ainsi que des mesures de sensibilité à l'insuline et de concentrations de lipides dans le foie et le muscle par résonnance magnétique nucléaire, en collaboration avec l'Hôpital de l'Ile de Berne. Les résultats montrent qu'après 6 jours de régime riche en fructose, les volontaires sains de sexe masculin ont presque doublé leurs concentrations de lipides sanguins et hépatiques. De plus, le foie de ces volontaires réagissait moins bien à l'insuline, ce qui pourrait mener à long terme à des maladies métaboliques comme le diabète de type 2. Un des mécanismes postulés est que le fructose pourrait stimuler la formation de lipides dans le foie, contribuant ainsi à un dysfonctionnement de cet organe. De manière surprenante, des femmes d'âge et d'IMC (Indice de Masse Corporelle) comparables aux hommes étudiés n'ont pas développé ces différents effets en réponse au régime riche en fructose. Il semblerait donc qu'elles possèdent certaines propriétés pouvant les «protéger », du moins à court terme, des problèmes métaboliques induits par le fructose. De tels mécanismes sont pour l'heure inconnus, mais il est possible que des différences hormonales, ou de répartition de la masse graisseuse dans le corps, puissent jouer un rôle. Enfin, nous avons également démontré que chez certaines personnes ayant au moins un parent (père ou mère) diabétique de type 2, les augmentations de lipides sanguins et hépatiques induits par le fructose étaient plus marquées que chez des volontaires sans parents diabétiques. Ceci est néanmoins à tempérer par le fait que nous avons observé une grande hétérogénéité des réponses parmi ces individus, découlant certainement d'interactions complexes entre différents facteurs tels que la génétique, le mode de vie, l'alimentation et l'activité physique. Ces différents résultats donnent lieu à une meilleure compréhension du rôle de facteurs alimentaires dans le développement de problèmes métaboliques tels que le diabète de type 2. Ils vont également permettre de tester différentes approches thérapeutiques. Bien qu'ayant été obtenus avec des doses de fructose importantes, ces études soulignent l'effet potentiellement dangereux pour la santé d'une alimentation riche en sucres.

We have currently studied the changes induced by administration of a fructose-rich diet (FRD) to normal rats in the mass and the endocrine function of abdominal (omental) adipose tissue (AAT). Rats were fed ad libitum a standard commercial chow and tap water, either alone (control diet, CD) or containing fructose (10%, w/vol) (FRD). Three weeks after treatment, circulating metabolic markers and leptin release from adipocytes of AAT were measured. Plasma free fatty acids (FFAs), leptin, adiponectin, and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) levels were significantly higher in FRD than in CD rats. AAT mass was greater in FRD than in CD rats and their adipocytes were larger, they secreted more leptin and showed impaired insulin sensitivity. While leptin mRNA expression increased in AAT from FRD rats, gene expression of insulin receptor substrate, IRS1 and IRS2 was significantly reduced. Our study demonstrates that administration of a FRD significantly affects insulin sensitivity and several AAT endocrine/metabolic functions. These alterations could be part of a network of interacting abnormalities triggered by FRD-induced oxidative stress at the AAT level. In view of the impaired glucose tolerance observed in FRD rats, these alterations could play a key role in both the development of metabolic syndrome (MS) and beta-cell failure.

Five functional mammalian facilitated hexose carriers (GLUTs) have been characterized by molecular cloning. By functional expression in heterologous systems, their specificity and affinity for different hexoses have been defined. There are three high-affinity transporters (GLUT-1, GLUT-3 and GLUT-4) and one low-affinity transporter (GLUT-2), and GLUT-5 is primarily a fructose carrier. Because their Michaelis constants (Km) are below the normal blood glucose concentration, the high-affinity transporters function at rates close to maximal velocity. Thus their level of cell surface expression greatly influences the rate of glucose uptake into the cells. In contrast, the rate of glucose uptake by GLUT-2 (Km = 17 mM) increases in parallel with the rise in blood glucose over the physiological concentration range. High-affinity transporters are found in almost every tissue, but their expression is higher in cells with high glycolytic activity. Glut-2, however, is found in tissues carrying large glucose fluxes, such as intestine, kidney, and liver. As an adaptive response to variations in metabolic conditions, the expression of these transporters is regulated by glucose and different hormones. Thus, because of their specific characteristics and regulated expression, the facilitated glucose transporters control fundamental aspects of glucose homeostasis. I review data pertaining to the structure and regulated expression of the glucose carriers present in intestine, kidney, and liver and discuss their role in the control of glucose flux into or out of these different tissues.

High-fructose diet stimulates hepatic de novo lipogenesis (DNL) and causes hypertriglyceridemia and insulin resistance in rodents. Fructose-induced insulin resistance may be secondary to alterations of lipid metabolism. In contrast, fish oil supplementation decreases triglycerides and may improve insulin resistance. Therefore, we studied the effect of high-fructose diet and fish oil on DNL and VLDL triglycerides and their impact on insulin resistance. Seven normal men were studied on four occasions: after fish oil (7.2 g/day) for 28 days; a 6-day high-fructose diet (corresponding to an extra 25% of total calories); fish oil plus high-fructose diet; and control conditions. Following each condition, fasting fractional DNL and endogenous glucose production (EGP) were evaluated using [1-13C]sodium acetate and 6,6-2H2 glucose and a two-step hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp was performed to assess insulin sensitivity. High-fructose diet significantly increased fasting glycemia (7 +/- 2%), triglycerides (79 +/- 22%), fractional DNL (sixfold), and EGP (14 +/- 3%, all P < 0.05). It also impaired insulin-induced suppression of adipose tissue lipolysis and EGP (P < 0.05) but had no effect on whole- body insulin-mediated glucose disposal. Fish oil significantly decreased triglycerides (37%, P < 0.05) after high-fructose diet compared with high-fructose diet without fish oil and tended to reduce DNL but had no other significant effect. In conclusion, high-fructose diet induced dyslipidemia and hepatic and adipose tissue insulin resistance. Fish oil reversed dyslipidemia but not insulin resistance.

Summary : With regard to exercise metabolism, lactate was long considered as a dead-end waste product responsible for muscle fatigue and a limiting factor for motor performance. However, a large body of evidence clearly indicates that lactate is an energy efficient metabolite able to link the glycolytic pathway with aerobic metabolism and has endocrine-like actions, rather than to be a dead-end waste product. Lactate metabolism is also known to be quickly upregulated by regular endurance training and is thought to be related to exercise performance. However, to what extent its modulation can increase exercise performance in already endurance-trained subjects is unknown. The general hypothesis of this work was therefore that increasing either lactate metabolic clearance rate or lactate availability could, in turn, increase endurance performance. The first study (Study I) aimed at increasing the lactate clearance rate by means of assumed interaction effects of endurance training and hypoxia on lactate metabolism and endurance performance. Although this study did not demonstrate any interaction of training and hypoxia on both lactate metabolism and endurance performance, a significant deleterious effect of endurance training in hypoxia was shown on glucose homeostasis. The methods used to determine lactate kinetics during exercise exhibited some limitations, and the second study did delineate some of the issues raised (Study 2). The third study (Study 3) investigated the metabolic and performance effects of increasing plasma lactate production and availability during prolonged exercise in the fed state. A nutritional intervention was used for this purpose: part of glucose feedings ingested during the control condition was substituted by fructose. The results of this study showed a significant increase of lactate turnover rate, quantified the metabolic fate of fructose; and demonstrated a significant decrease of lipid oxidation and glycogen breakdown. In contrast, endurance performance appeared to be unmodified by this dietary intervention, being at odds with recent reports. Altogether the results of this thesis suggest that in endurance athletes the relationship between endurance performance and lactate turnover rate remains unclear. Nonetheless, the result of the present study raises questions and opens perspectives on the rationale of using hypoxia as a therapeutic aid for the treatment of insulin resistance. Moreover, the results of the second study open perspectives on the role of lactate as an intermediate metabolite and its modulatory effects on substrate metabolism during exercise. Additionally it is suggested that the simple nutritional intervention used in the third study can be of interest in the investigation on the aforementioned roles of lactate. Résumé : Lorsque le lactate est évoqué en rapport avec l'exercice, il est souvent considéré comme un déchet métabolique responsable de l'acidose métabolique, de la fatigue musculaire ou encore comme un facteur limitant de la performance. Or la littérature montre clairement que le lactate se révèle être plutôt un métabolite utilisé efficacement par de nombreux tissus par les voies oxydatives et, ainsi, il peut être considéré comme un lien entre le métabolisme glycolytique et le métabolisme oxydatif. De plus on lui prête des propriétés endocrines. Il est connu que l'entraînement d'endurance accroît rapidement le métabolisme du lactate, et il est suggéré que la performance d'endurance est liée à son métabolisme. Toutefois la relation entre le taux de renouvellement du lactate et la performance d'endurance est peu claire, et, de même, de quelle manière la modulation de son métabolisme peut influencer cette dernière. Le but de cette thèse était en conséquence d'investiguer de quelle manière et à quel degré l'augmentation du métabolisme du lactate, par l'augmentation de sa clearance et de son turnover, pouvait à son tour améliorer la performance d'endurance de sujets entraînés. L'objectif de la première étude a été d'augmenter la clearance du lactate par le biais d'un entraînement en conditions hypoxiques chez des cyclistes d'endurance. Basé sur la littérature scientifique existante, on a fait l'hypothèse que l'entraînement d'endurance et l'hypoxie exerceraient un effet synergétique sur le métabolisme du lactate et sur la performance, ce qui permettrait de montrer des relations entre performance et métabolisme du lactate. Les résultats de cette étude n'ont montré aucun effet synergique sur la performance ou le métabolisme du lactate. Toutefois, un effet délétère sur le métabolisme du glucose a été démontré. Quelques limitations de la méthode employée pour la mesure du métabolisme du lactate ont été soulevées, et partiellement résolues dans la seconde étude de ce travail, qui avait pour but d'évaluer la sensibilité du modèle pharmacodynamique utilisé pour le calcul du turnover du lactate. La troisième étude a investigué l'effet d'une augmentation de la lactatémie sur le métabolisme des substrats et sur la performance par une intervention nutritionnelle substituant une partie de glucose ingéré pendant l'exercice par du fructose. Les résultats montrent que les composants dynamiques du métabolisme du lactate sont significativement augmentés en présence de fructose, et que les oxydations de graisse et de glycogène sont significativement diminuées. Toutefois aucun effet sur la performance n'a été démontré. Les résultats de ces études montrent que la relation entre le métabolisme du lactate et la performance reste peu claire. Les résultats délétères de la première étude laissent envisager des pistes de travail, étant donné que l'entraînement en hypoxie est considéré comme outil thérapeutique dans le traitement de pathologies liées à la résistance à l'insuline. De plus les résultats de la troisième étude ouvrent des perspectives de travail quant au rôle du lactate comme intermédiaire métabolique durant l'exercice ainsi que sur ses effets directs sur le métabolisme. Ils suggèrent de plus que la manipulation nutritionnelle simple qui a été utilisée se révèle être un outil prometteur dans l'étude des rôles et effets métaboliques que peut revêtir le lactate durant l'exercice.

The ability to take up and metabolize glucose at the cellular level is a property shared by the vast majority of existing organisms. Most mammalian cells import glucose by a process of facilitative diffusion mediated by members of the Glut (SLC2A) family of membrane transport proteins. Fourteen Glut proteins are expressed in the human and they include transporters for substrates other than glucose, including fructose, myoinositol, and urate. The primary physiological substrates for at least half of the 14 Glut proteins are either uncertain or unknown. The well-established glucose transporter isoforms, Gluts 1-4, are known to have distinct regulatory and/or kinetic properties that reflect their specific roles in cellular and whole body glucose homeostasis. Separate review articles on many of the Glut proteins have recently appeared in this journal. Here, we provide a very brief summary of the known properties of the 14 Glut proteins and suggest some avenues of future investigation in this area.

Resting metabolic rate was measured in 10 healthy volunteers (25 yr, 73 kg, 182 cm) for 1 h before and 4 h during intravenous (iv) fructose administration (20% at 50 mumol.kg-1.min-1) with (+P) or without (-P) propranolol (100 micrograms/kg, 1 microgram.kg-1.min-1) during the last 2 h. Some subjects were studied a further 2 h with fructose infusion and +P or -P in hyperinsulinemic (2.9 pmol.kg-1.min-1) euglycemic conditions. Glucose turnover ([3-3H]glucose, 20 muCi bolus and 0.2 muCi/min) was calculated over 30 min at 0, 2, 4, and 6 h. The thermic effect of iv fructose was approximately 7.5% and decreased to 4.9 +/- 0.4% (P less than 0.01) +P. During the euglycemic clamp the thermic effect was 6.2 +/- 0.9% (-P) and 5.3 +/- 0.9% (+P). Hepatic glucose production (HGP) was 11.7 mumol.kg-1.min-1 (0 h) and did not change after 2 h iv fructose (11.8 +/- 0.5 and 9.8 +/- 0.6 mumol.kg-1.min-1 -P and +P, respectively) but increased to 13.8 +/- 0.9 (-P) and 12.9 +/- 0.8 mumol.kg-1.min-1 (+P) (P less than 0.01) after 4 h. HGP was suppressed to varying degrees during the euglycemic clamp. It is concluded that 1) the greater thermic effect of fructose compared with glucose is probably due to continued gluconeogenesis (which is suppressed by glucose or glucose-insulin) and the energy cost of fructose metabolism to glucose in the liver. 2) There is a sympathetically mediated component to the thermic effect of fructose (approximately 30%) that is not mediated by elevated plasma insulin concentrations similar to those observed with iv glucose.

The effects of a 7 d high-fructose diet (HFrD) or control diet on lipid metabolism were studied in a group of six healthy lean males. Plasma NEFA and beta-hydroxybutyrate concentrations, net lipid oxidation (indirect calorimetry) and exogenous lipid oxidation (13CO2 production) were monitored in basal conditions, after lipid loading (olive oil labelled with [13C]triolein) and during a standardised mental stress. Lactate clearance and the metabolic effects of an exogenous lactate infusion were also monitored. The HFrD lowered plasma concentrations of NEFA and beta-hydroxybutyrate as well as lipid oxidation in both basal and after lipid-loading conditions. In addition, the HFrD blunted the increase in plasma NEFA and exogenous lipid oxidation during mental stress. The HFrD also increased basal lactate concentrations by 31.8 %, and lactate production by 53.8 %, while lactate clearance remained unchanged. Lactate infusion lowered plasma NEFA with the control diet, and net lipid oxidation with both the HFrD and control diet. These results indicate that a 7 d HFrD markedly inhibits lipolysis and lipid oxidation. The HFrD also increases lactate production, and the ensuing increased lactate utilisation may contribute to suppress lipid oxidation.

A causal role of fructose intake in the aetiology of the global obesity epidemic has been proposed in recent years. This proposition, however, rests on controversial interpretations of two distinct lines of research. On one hand, in mechanistic intervention studies, detrimental metabolic effects have been observed after excessive isolated fructose intakes in animals and human subjects. On the other hand, food disappearance data indicate that fructose consumption from added sugars has increased over the past decades and paralleled the increase in obesity. Both lines of research are presently insufficient to demonstrate a causal role of fructose in metabolic diseases, however. Most mechanistic intervention studies were performed on subjects fed large amounts of pure fructose, while fructose is ordinarily ingested together with glucose. The use of food disappearance data does not accurately reflect food consumption, and hence cannot be used as evidence of a causal link between fructose intake and obesity. Based on a thorough review of the literature, we demonstrate that fructose, as commonly consumed in mixed carbohydrate sources, does not exert specific metabolic effects that can account for an increase in body weight. Consequently, public health recommendations and policies aiming at reducing fructose consumption only, without additional diet and lifestyle targets, would be disputable and impractical. Although the available evidence indicates that the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages is associated with body-weight gain, and it may be that fructose is among the main constituents of these beverages, energy overconsumption is much more important to consider in terms of the obesity epidemic.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the metabolic effects of fructose in healthy male and female subjects. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Fasting metabolic profile and hepatic insulin sensitivity were assessed by means of a hyperglycemic clamp in 16 healthy young male and female subjects after a 6-day fructose overfeeding. RESULTS: Fructose overfeeding increased fasting triglyceride concentrations by 71 vs. 16% in male vs. female subjects, respectively (P &lt; 0.05). Endogenous glucose production was increased by 12%, alanine aminotransferase concentration was increased by 38%, and fasting insulin concentrations were increased by 14% after fructose overfeeding in male subjects (all P &lt; 0.05) but were not significantly altered in female subjects. Fasting plasma free fatty acids and lipid oxidation were inhibited by fructose in male but not in female subjects. CONCLUSIONS: Short-term fructose overfeeding produces hypertriglyceridemia and hepatic insulin resistance in men, but these effects are markedly blunted in healthy young women.

BACKGROUND: Epidemiologic and experimental data have suggested that chlorogenic acid, which is a polyphenol contained in green coffee beans, prevents diet-induced hepatic steatosis and insulin resistance. OBJECTIVE: We assessed whether the consumption of chlorogenic acid-rich coffee attenuates the effects of short-term fructose overfeeding, dietary conditions known to increase intrahepatocellular lipids (IHCLs), and blood triglyceride concentrations and to decrease hepatic insulin sensitivity in healthy humans. DESIGN: Effects of 3 different coffees were assessed in 10 healthy volunteers in a randomized, controlled, crossover trial. IHCLs, hepatic glucose production (HGP) (by 6,6-d2 glucose dilution), and fasting lipid oxidation were measured after 14 d of consumption of caffeinated coffee high in chlorogenic acid (C-HCA), decaffeinated coffee high in chlorogenic acid, or decaffeinated coffee with regular amounts of chlorogenic acid (D-RCA); during the last 6 d of the study, the weight-maintenance diet of subjects was supplemented with 4 g fructose · kg(-1) · d(-1) (total energy intake ± SD: 143 ± 1% of weight-maintenance requirements). All participants were also studied without coffee supplementation, either with 4 g fructose · kg(-1) · d(-1) (high fructose only) or without high fructose (control). RESULTS: Compared with the control diet, the high-fructose diet significantly increased IHCLs by 102 ± 36% and HGP by 16 ± 3% and decreased fasting lipid oxidation by 100 ± 29% (all P < 0.05). All 3 coffees significantly decreased HGP. Fasting lipid oxidation increased with C-HCA and D-RCA (P < 0.05). None of the 3 coffees significantly altered IHCLs. CONCLUSIONS: Coffee consumption attenuates hepatic insulin resistance but not the increase of IHCLs induced by fructose overfeeding. This effect does not appear to be mediated by differences in the caffeine or chlorogenic acid content. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT00827450.

BACKGROUND & AIMS: It has been reported that a high protein diet improves insulin sensitivity and reduces ectopic lipids in animals and humans with the metabolic syndrome. We therefore tested the hypothesis that a high dietary protein content may stimulate whole body lipid oxidation and alter post-prandial triglyceride (TG) after fructose ingestion. METHODS: The post-prandial metabolism of 8 young males was studied after two 6-day periods of hyper-energetic, high fructose diet (HiFruD), and after two 6-day periods of hyper-energetic high fructose high protein diet (HiFruHiProD). The order with which these periods were applied was randomized. At the end of each period, either a low protein, (13)C fructose test meal (Fru meal) or a high protein, (13)C fructose test meal (HiPro Fru meal) was administered. This resulted in the monitoring of metabolic parameters at 4 occasions in random order: a) with Fru meal ingested after HiFruD, b) with HiPro Fru meal ingested after HiFruD, c) with Fru meal ingested after HiFruHiProD or d) with HiPro Fru meal ingested after HiFruHiProD. On each occasion, post-prandial TG concentrations were monitored, energy expenditure and substrate metabolism were measured by indirect calorimetry, and fructose-induced gluconeogenesis was evaluated by measuring plasma (13)C-labeled glucose. RESULTS: TG responses to fructose ingestion were significantly higher after a hyper-energetic HiFruHiProD and after HiPro Fru meals than after a Fru meal ingested after a hyper-energetic HiFruD. Compared to low protein meals, high protein meals increased post-prandial energy expenditure, inhibited post-prandial lipid oxidation, and enhanced fructose-induced gluconeogenesis. These effects were similar with HiFruD and HiFruHiProD. CONCLUSIONS: Dietary proteins did not increase lipid oxidation and increased fructose-induced post-prandial TG in healthy humans fed an hyper-energetic, high fructose diet.

BACKGROUND: High fructose consumption is suspected to be causally linked to the epidemics of obesity and metabolic disorders. In rodents, fructose leads to insulin resistance and ectopic lipid deposition. In humans, the effects of fructose on insulin sensitivity remain debated, whereas its effect on ectopic lipids has never been investigated. OBJECTIVE: We assessed the effect of moderate fructose supplementation on insulin sensitivity (IS) and ectopic lipids in healthy male volunteers (n = 7). DESIGN: IS, intrahepatocellular lipids (IHCL), and intramyocellular lipids (IMCL) were measured before and after 1 and 4 wk of a high-fructose diet containing 1.5 g fructose . kg body wt(-1) . d(-1). Adipose tissue IS was evaluated from nonesterified fatty acid suppression, hepatic IS from suppression of hepatic glucose output (6,6-2H2-glucose), and muscle IS from the whole-body glucose disposal rate during a 2-step hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp. IHCL and IMCL were measured by 1H magnetic resonance spectroscopy. RESULTS: Fructose caused significant (P < 0.05) increases in fasting plasma concentrations of triacylglycerol (36%), VLDL-triacylglycerol (72%), lactate (49%), glucose (5.5%), and leptin (48%) without any significant changes in body weight, IHCL, IMCL, or IS. IHCL were negatively correlated with triacylglycerol after 4 wk of the high-fructose diet (r = -0.78, P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Moderate fructose supplementation over 4 wk increases plasma triacylglycerol and glucose concentrations without causing ectopic lipid deposition or insulin resistance in healthy humans.
