Effect Of High-Fructose Solution On Body Weight, Body Fat, Blood Glucose And Triglyceride Levels In Rats

Abstract: Summary In Europe, as well as in Bulgaria, consumption of soft drinks and confectionery has increased during the last three decades and is partly responsible for the epidemic-like increase in obesity. These foods, originally sweetened by sucrose, are now sweetened by other caloric sweeteners such as fructose. In this study we investigated the effect of an eight-week intake of 20% fructose solution on body weight in rats. Two adult rat groups (aged 120±6 days) of Wistar line were studied: a Control group (C; n=… Show more

“…Fasting serum glucose was significantly higher in fructose control group than in normal control group (p = 0.007). This finding is in agreement with Sandeva et al's study, which reported that serum glucose level was significantly increased in male and female rats fed on 20% of fructose solution in drinking water for 8 weeks [23].…”

“…Thus, ascorbic acid may be beneficial in the treatment of obesity. However, more experimental studies are required to establish the use of ascorbic acid in obesity treatment because controversy abounds as to whether ascorbic acid is efficacious or not in inducing weight loss and lowering lipid in obese subjects [13]- [15]. Therefore, this study investigates the role of ascorbic acid in the treatment of obesity.…”

“…It has contributed to the increasing epidemic of obesity and metabolic syndrome. 18 A high-fructose diet interferes with the secretion and production of neuropeptides such as ghrelin and leptin, associated with appetite control. It may stimulate the compensation system in the hypothalamus.…”
