Characteristics of dietary sugars compared with their roles in body metabolism

Based on our two-year experience in teaching Digestive Physiology at the Osijek Faculty of Food Technology in Osijek, Croatia, this article is an attempt to improve students' understanding of carbohydrate metabolism. The presented material is adapted from a Croatian version prepared for students of food technology attending the Digestive Physiology course in their 4th year, after completing chemical and biochemical courses that enabled them to understand carbohydrate terminology and metabolism. The students are also expected to show some knowledge regarding the digestive tract function and insulin actions. In case of any doubt, students are encouraged to ask questions.
