Digestion of sugar

• Sugar in the foods is absorbed by the body to provide energy for the whole system.
• Simple sugars are glucose and fructose. Simple sugars doesnot undergo series of steps and readily metabolised.
• But complex sugars like galactose and maltose etc undergoes breakdown to simple sugars by liver and other metabolites and then are absorbed by the body.
• Similarly higher order complex sugars like dextrins are broken down to disaccharides and monosaccharides by enzymes present in the intestine .
• Glucose and galactose are absorbed by the body through Na+ dependent transport .
• Fructose is absorbed by facilitated diffusion.
• the level of sugar in blood is maintained 5mmol/L. If the level of the sugar goes down than this normal range , then the brain directs to breakdown its glycogen stores and  compensates the sugar level .
• Similarly , if the sugar level is above 5mmol/L then again the brain directs the liver to synthesise glycogen.
• Glycogen is reserved form of sugars and stored in the body in terms of need.
• The circulating blood carries sugar and provides energy to all over the body.
