In this episode we discuss:

  • Why fructose doesn’t cause leptin resistance
  • How our livers produce fat from fructose or dietary fat 
  • How a failure of energy production (mitochondrial respiration) causes NAFLD 
  • Why increases in uncoupling, autophagy, mitophagy, and other stress pathways is often a sign of dysfunction and stress 

4:54 – why fructose doesn’t cause leptin resistance  

11:56 – the physiology of triglyceride (fat) synthesis in the liver 

28:03 – the role of inhibited, inefficient mitochondrial respiration in triglyceride synthesis in the liver 

46:06 – the role of inhibited, inefficient mitochondrial respiration and stress pathways in NAFLD
