@vena & usres12: thanks for asking, keeping at it

@tiomun: am hanging in there! have u finished uw yet?

@vena


I just read today that -- bcos DHAP and glyceraldehyde , which are products of fructose metabolism , are downstream fm the key regulatory and rate limiting enzymes of glycolysis (PFK-1) , a high fructose drink supplies a quick source of energy in both aerobic and anaerobic cells .. if u lok at the fructose metab and the gkycolysis pathway .. i thought the fructose pathway gives u a shorter route to DHAP AND GLYCERALDEHYDE ..

I might be wrong .. whats the ans @ gg99
