Metabolic Syndrome and Hypertension Resulting from Fructose Enriched Diet in Wistar Rats

Table 2

Effects of fructose supplementation on oral glucose tolerance test (shown using the area under curve), HOMA 2-IR, and ISI-gly. Each parameter was measured at the ages of 9, 15, and 23 weeks ( for FF and for C at all ages). FF: fructose fed; C: control.
