A Regenerative Antioxidant Protocol of Vitamin E and α-Lipoic Acid Ameliorates Cardiovascular and Metabolic Changes in Fructose-Fed Rats
Figure 1
(a): Plasma glucose concentrations following oral gavage of glucose (2 g/kg) recorded after 16 weeks for rats fed with corn starch (⬤), fructose (⚪), or fructose with α-tocopherol and α-lipoic acid as either prevention (FTPP) (▲) or reversal (FTPR) (▾) protocols. * versus corn starch-fed rats. (b) Plasma glucose concentrations following oral gavage of glucose (2 g/kg) recorded after 16 weeks for rats fed with corn starch (⬤), fructose (⚪), or fructose with tocotrienol-rich fraction and α-lipoic acid as either prevention (FTTP) (▵) or reversal (FTTR) (▿) protocols. * versus corn starch-fed rats; # versus fructose-fed rats.
