A short spoken segment by Robert Lustig (uploaded by Dr. Ron Najafi) contrasting glucose and fructose effects on mitochondria: glucose purportedly increases mitochondrial function while fructose inhibits it. Lustig names three enzymes he says fructose inhibits—AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (long-chain), and carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 (CPT1)—and links their inhibition to reduced ATP production from glucose or fat.
