The Disaccharide Effect of Sucrose Feeding on Excretion of Intravenously Injected [1,2-3H]Aldosterone and Conjugated Glucuronic Acid in Normotensive Rats
Abstract:The hypothesis tested was that feeding rats sucrose rather than invert sugar (50:50 mixture of glucose and fructose) or cornstarch would result in a more rapid excretion of glucuronides and tritium from intravenously injected [1,2-3H]aldosterone. Thirty 56-d-old male rats of the Sprague-Dawley strain were fed for 8 wk one of three diets containing 45% of dietary energy from sucrose, invert sugar or cornstarch; 15% of energy was from protein and 40% from fat. Body weights and systolic blood pressures were measu… Show more
