The Establishment of Metabolic Syndrome Model by Induction of Fructose Drinking Water in Male Wistar Rats

Table 1

Effects of fructose drinking water on physiological variables in C, F20, and F25 groups for 8 weeks.

Variables	C	F20	F25
Food intake (g/day)	23.80±1.20	13.87±0.73^a	13.82±0.22^a
Fluid intake (mL/day)	53.54±0.78	60.80±1.66^ab	40.52±1.84^ad
Total calorie intake (Kcal/day)	62.98±3.16	102.70±3.43^ab	84.32±2.27^ad

Values are mean ± SEM and  𝑛=6  for each group. Superscript letters are significantly different. ^a𝑃<0.05 indicates a significant difference as compared to C group. ^b𝑃<0.05 indicates a significant difference as compared to F25 group. ^d𝑃<0.05 indicates a significant difference as compared to F20 group.
