Evaluation of the In Vivo and In Vitro Effects of Fructose on Respiratory Chain Complexes in Tissues of Young Rats

Figure 1

Effects of acute fructose administration on respiratory chain complexes I-III (a), II (b), II-III (c), and IV (d) activities in rat cerebral cortex, liver, kidney, and skeletal muscle. Values are means ± standard error of mean for five to six independent experiments performed in duplicate and are expressed as nmol⋅min⁻¹⋅mg protein⁻¹. , , and compared to controls (Student’s -test).
