Figure 5: The metabolic conversion of fructose in the liver generating dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP), glyceraldehyde (GA). The glyceraldehyde is phosphorylated converted into glyceraldehyde-3-Phosphate (GA-3-P) via the enzyme triokinase. The dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) is isomerized into glyceraldehydes-3-Phosphate (GA-3-P) via the enzyme triose phosphate isomerase. The net result from one fructose unit is 2 GA-3-P.
