Overfeeding period of treatment group was significantly shorter than that of control group (P < 0.05). Dietary supplementation with 10% fructose induced more severe steatosis in goose liver. Compared with control group, treatment group was lower in ceramide level (P < 0.05). The key differentially expressed genes (DEGs) (control group vs treatment group) involved in liver fatty acid biosynthesis and steroid biosynthesis were down-regulated. The conjoint analysis between DEGs and different lipids showed that the fatty acid biosynthesis and steroid biosynthesis were the highest impact scores pathway. In conclusion, fructose expedites the goose liver lipid accumulation maximization during overfeeding.
