THE APPLE

Fructose
Is digested in the liver to produce mainly glucose
(~50%), and minor amounts of glycogen (>17%), lactate
(~25%) and a small amount of fatty acids. Glucose
travels through the bloodstream to all organs and
muscles, where it is transformed into energy. Lactate
and fatty acids are also energy
sources for the body.

Potassium

Is absorbed via passive diffusion, primarily in the small


intestine . About 90% of ingested potassium is absorbed and
used to maintain its normal intracellular and extracellular
concentrations
Renin is an enzyme that helps control your blood pressure
and maintain healthy levels of sodium and potassium in your
body.
Renin is produced in your kidneys. When your systolic blood
pressure falls or your kidneys sense that you are volume
depleted, your kidneys release renin into your bloodstream.
Organ that absorbs the product of digestion of potassium is
the small intestine.
