Impact of Fish Oil Supplementation and Interruption of Fructose Ingestion on Glucose and Lipid Homeostasis of Rats Drinking Different Concentrations of Fructose

Figure 3

Proportion of fructose contribution to the total calorie intake. The average proportion values of fructose contribution to the total amount of caloric intake during experimental protocol (a) and the AUC for such proportion values (b). Fructose ingestion lasted 9 consecutive weeks, and fish oil supplementation (1 g/Kg, b.m.) was introduced 30 days after the initiation of fructose ingestion, remaining until the end of the ninth week. Results are expressed as mean ± SEM for (a) and median ± interquartile range for (b). Asterisk () indicates significant difference compared with the F (10%) group using Student’s t-test in (a) and Mann-Whitney in (b) for unpaired data (, ).
