Liver

Glucose Enters Liver and gets stored as Glycogen

Excess Fructose is Converted into VLDL

Glycogen can be used to provide energy to cells

Excess fat retains in Liver forming Lipid Droplets

It leads to Fatty Liver Disease

Excess Fructose metabolize to create Uric Acid

Uric Acid Stops the production of Nitric Oxide

Nitric Oxide lowers BP

Decreased Production of Nitric Oxide causes Hypertension

Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

Hypertension

Excess Fat is metabolised as Triglyceride

Triglyceride Caused Obesity & CVD
