Metabolic markers and hormonal status in plasma. (a) Glucose (g/L; ), (b) triacylglycerols (g/L; ā7), (c) insulin (g/L; ), (d) leptin (pg/mL; ), (e) aldosterone (ng/mL; ), and (f) melatonin levels (pg/mL; ), at the end of the dietary intervention. Results were expressed as mean standard error of the mean. * CONT versus FRUCT. CONT: control; FRUCT: 10% fructose in tap water; FRUCTMIN: 10% fructose in natural mineral-rich water; G: global .
