Reduced Susceptibility to Sugar-Induced Metabolic Derangements and Impairments of Myocardial Redox Signaling in Mice Chronically Fed with D-Tagatose when Compared to Fructose

Figure 1

Effects of chronic sugar exposure on systemic inflammatory profile. Plasma levels of TNF-α (a), IL-1β (b), and IL-6 (c) were measured in mice fed for 24 weeks with a control diet or with a diet containing liquid or solid supplementation of fructose/D-tagatose. Values are represented as means ± S.E.M. of 6 animals per group. , , and , vs. CD. ## and ### denote, respectively, and vs. corresponding Tg formulation.
