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 2

Effects of sugars feeding on myocardial markers of oxidative stress. Malondialdehyde (MDA; a), catalase (b), and 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG; c) were measured in heart homogenates of 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 denote, respectively, and vs. CD. ## and ### denote, respectively, and vs. corresponding Tg formulation.
