- Galactose is obtained through the diet primarily from lactose in milk and is metabolized mainly in the liver. It is converted to glucose through a series of enzymatic reactions involving galactokinase, galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase, and UDP-glucose 4-epimerase.
- Deficiencies of galactokinase or galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase can cause galactosemia, leading to an accumulation of galactose and its metabolites in tissues and symptoms including liver damage, cataracts, and intellectual disability.
- Fructose obtained through the diet is converted to glucose mainly in the liver
Under normal dietary intake the majority of the ingested fructose is metabolized by the enterocytes of the small intestine primarily to glucose which is then delivered to the systemic circulation. In addition to glucose, the carbon atoms from dietary fructose are converted, by intestinal enterocytes, into several other metabolites including glycerate, glutamate, glutamine, alanine, ornithine, and citrulline.
However, diets containing large amounts of sucrose, high fructose corn syrup, or fructose alone, overwhelm the ability of the small intestine to metabolize it all and under these conditions a significant amount of fructose is then metabolized by the liver and to a lesser extent by other organs such as skeletal muscle.

2. • Lactose, present in milk & milk products.
• Principal dietary source of galactose.
• Lactase ( β-galactosidase ) of intestinal
mucosal cells hydrolyses lactose to galactose
and glucose.
• Galactose is also produced from lysosomal
degradation of glycoproteins & glycolipids.
4. • Galactose is metabolised almost exclusively
by the liver and therefore galactose
tolerance test is done to assess the functional
capacity of the liver
• UDP-galactose is the active donor of
galactose during synthetic reactions
5. • Step: 1
• Galactokinase reaction:
• Galactose is first phosphorylated by
galactokinase to galactose -1- phosphate
• Step: 2
• Galactose -1- phosphate uridyl transferase
• This is the rate limiting enzyme.
6. • Galactose 1-phosphate reacts with UDP-
glucose to form UDP-galactose & glucose 1-
phosphate, in the presence of the enzyme
Galactose 1-phosphate uridyl transferase
7.
8. • UDP-galactose is an active donor of galactose.
• UDP-galactose is essential for the formation of
compounds like lactose, glycosaminoglycans,
glycoproteins, cerebrosides & glycolipids.
• Step: 3
• Epimerase reaction:
• UDP-galactose can be converted to UDP-
glucose by UDP hexose 4-epimerase
9. • Galactose is channeled to the metabolism of
glucose.
• Galactose is not an essential nutrient since
UDP-glucose can be converted to UDP –
galactose by the enzyme UDP-hexose 4-
epimerase and requires NAD+
10. • Step: 4
• Alternate pathway:
• The galactose 1-phosphate
pyrophosphorylase in liver becomes active
only after 4or 5years of life
• The enzyme will produce UDP-galactose
directly which can be epimerized to UDP-
glucose.

Galactose Metabolism
12.
13. Disorders of galactose metabolism
• Classical galactosemia:
• Due to deficiency of enzyme galactose 1-
phosphate uridyltransferase
• Rare congenital disease in infants
• Inherited as an autosomal recessive disorder
14. Salient features
• Due to the block in this enzyme, galactose 1-
phosphate will accumulate in liver.
• This will inhibit galactokinase as well as
glycogen phosphorylase
• It results in hypoglycemia.
• Galactose cannot be converted to glucose
• Increased galactose level increases insulin
secretion, which lowers blood glucose level.
15. • Galactose metabolism is impaired leading to
increased galactose levels in circulation
(galactosemia) & urine (galactosuria)
• Bilirubin uptake is less & bilirubin conjugation
is reduced.
• Unconjugated bilirubin level is increased.
16. • There is enlargement of liver, jaundice &
severe mental retardation – due to
accumilation of galactose & galactose 1-
phosphate.
17.
18.
19. Development of cataracts
• Causes:
• Excess of galactose in lens is reduced to galactitol
(dulcitol) by the enzyme aldose reductase
• Galactitol cannot escape from lens cells
• Osmotic effect of the sugar alcohol contributes to
injury of lens proteins & development of cataracts.
20.
21.
22. Galactokinase deficiency
• The defect in the enzyme galactokinase.
• Results in galactosemia & galactosuria
• Dulcitol or galactitol is formed.
• Absence of hepatic and renal complications.
• Development of cataracts very rare.
• Treatment:
• Removal of galactose & lactose from the diet.
23.
24. Fructose metabolism
• Fructose is present in fruit juices & honey.
• Chief dietary source is sucrose.
• Sucrose is hydrolyzed in the intestine by the
enzyme sucrase.
• Fructose is absorbed by facilitated transport
and taken by portal blood to liver.
• It is mostly converted to glucose.
25. • Fructose is easily metabolized & a good
source of energy
• Seminal fluid is rich in fructose &
spermatozoa utilizes fructose for energy.
• In diabetics, fructose metabolism through
sorbitol pathway may account for the
development of cataract.
26. Fructose metabolism
• Fructose is phosphorylated to form fructose 6-
phospate, catalyzed by the enzyme
hexokinase
• Affinity of the enzyme hexokinase for
fructose is very low
Fructose Fructose -6-p Glucose-6-p
E.M pathway
ATP ADP
Hexokinase Isomerase
27. • Fructose is mostly phosphorylated by
fructokinase to fructose-1-phosphate
• Fructokinase is present in liver, kidney,
muscle and intestine.
• Hexokinase can also act on fructose to
produce fructose 1-phosphate.
28. • Fructose-1-phosphate is cleaved to
glyceraldehyde & dihydroxy acetone
phosphate (DHAP) by aldolase B
• Glyceraldehyde is phosphorylated by
triokinase to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate,
along with DHAP enters glycolysis or
gluconeogenesis.
32. • It involves the conversion of glucose to
fructose via sorbitol
• Sorbitol pathway is higher in uncontrolled
diabetes
• The enzyme aldose reductase reduces glucose
to sorbitol in the presence of NADPH
• Sorbitol is then oxidized to fructose by Sorbitol
dehydrogenase and NAD+
34. • In uncontrolled diabetes, large amounts of
glucose enter the cells which are not
dependent on insulin
• The cells with increased intracellular glucose
levels in diabetes (lens, retina, nerve cells,
kidney etc) possess high activity of aldose
reductase and sufficient supply of NADPH.
35. • Thisresults in a rapid &efficient conversion of
glucose to sorbitol
• The enzyme Sorbitol Dehydrogenase is either
low in activity or absent in these cells.
• Sorbitol is not converted to fructose.
• Sorbitol cannot freely pass through the cell
membrane and accumulate in the cells.
36. • Sorbitol-due to its hydrophilic nature-causes
osmotic effects leading to swelling of the cells.
• Pathological changes associated with
diabetes are due to accumulation of sorbitol.
37. • Essential fructosuria:
• Deficiency of the enzyme hepatic fructokinase.
• Fructose is not converted to fructose 1-
phosphate.
• Excretion of fructose in urine.
• Treatment: Restriction of dietary fructose
• Urine gives positive benedicts & seliwanoff’s
test
38. • An autosomal recessive inborn error.
• Due to defect in the enzyme aldolase-B.
• Fructose 1-phosphate, cannot be metabolised.
• Intracellular accumulation of fructose 1-
phosphate will inhibit glycogen
phosphorylase.
• Leads to accumulation of glycogen in liver &
associated with hypoglycemia
39. • Vomiting, loss of appetite, hepatomegaly &
jaundice.
• If liver damage progresses, death will occur.
• Fructose is excreted in urine.
• Restriction of dietary fructose.
40. • One or more hydroxyl groups of the
monosaccharides are replaced by amino groups
• GlucoE.g.D-gsamine, D-
galactosamine, mannoseamine,
sialic acid.
• They are present as constituents of GAG’s,
glycolipids & glycoproteins.
• Also found in some oligosaccharides &
antibiotics.
41. • The amino groups of amino sugars are
sometimes acetylated e.g.N-acetyl D-glucosamine
• Fructose 6-phosphate is major precursor for
glucosamine, N-acetylgalactosamine & NANA.
• N-Acetyl neuramic acid (NAN) is derivative of N-
Acetyl mannose & pyruvicacid.
• 20% of glucose is utilized for the synthesis of
amino sugars, which mostly occurs in the
connective tissues.
