high fructose corn syrup (hfcs) is commonly found in soft drinks and juice beverages, as well as in many pre-packaged foods such as breakfast cereals, baked goods and dairy desserts. historically, sucrose (table sugar) was primarily added to processed foods and beverages as the sweetening agent. in recent years, the use of hfcs has significantly increased in popularity due to its sweetness, abi...

Fructose-containing sugars, including fructose itself, high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), and sucrose have engendered considerable controversy. The effects of HFCS and sucrose in sugar-sweetened beverages, in particular, have generated intense scientific debate that has spilled over to the public. This controversy is related to well-known differences in metabolism between fructose and glucose in ...

BACKGROUND Fructose malabsorption is characterized by the inability to absorb fructose efficiently. As a consequence fructose reaches the colon where it is broken down by bacteria to short fatty acids, CO2 and H2. Bloating, cramps, osmotic diarrhea and other symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome are the consequences and can be seen in about 50% of fructose malabsorbers. We have previously shown ...

Previous studies have shown that addition of fructose to the diet of broilers raises plasma uric acid (PUA) concentration and improves productive performance. The purpose of this experiment was to establish the effect of feeding fructose on turkey PUA concentration and productive performance. Turkey poults (n = 64) were weighed and randomly assigned to diets containing 0 (control), 5, 10, and 1...

A high consumption of fat and simple sugars, especially fructose, has been related to the development of insulin resistance, but the mechanisms involved in the effects of these nutrients are not fully understood. This study investigates the effects of a Western-type diet and liquid fructose supplementation, alone and combined, on insulin signalling and inflammation in low-density lipoprotein (L...

High fructose feeding in rats induces insulin resistance, hyperinsulinemia, hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia. The present study was undertaken to determine the hypolipidemic effect of food seasoning spices mixture on fructose-fed insulin resistant rats. Male Wistar rats received a daily diet containing either 60% fructose or 60% starch. They were administered with the spices mixture at three diff...

Abstract Combinations of fructose- and fat-rich diets in experimental animals can model the human metabolic syndrome (MS). In rats, the increase in blood pressure (BP) after diet manipulation is sex related and highly dependent on testosterone secretion. However, the extent of the impact of diet on rodent hypophysial-testicular axis remains undefined. In the present study, rats drinking a 10% f...

Background. Transcranial electrical stimulation is a promising method for correction of malnutrition-induced hyperlipidemia, in the absence indications drug hypolipidemic therapy young and middle-aged patients with low moderate cardiovascular risk. Objectives — to study effect transcranial on lipid metabolism high-fructose/high-fat (HFHF) diet rats. Methods. An experimental randomized trial was...

  Objective(s):In insulin resistance, the insulin action in liver, muscles and adipocytes decreases and result in hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia and hyperinsulinemia. In this study we evaluate the effect of Zataria multiflora extract on insulin sensitivity in high fructose fed insulin resistant rats, since this extract was shown antihyperglycemic effect in streptozotocin induced diabetes in rats. ...

The incidences of obese and metabolic syndrome have risen dramatically in recent decades. The pathological conditions of metabolic syndrome greatly increase the risk factors of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and NASH. The over consumption of high-fructose in beverage has been considered may play a role in the causes. To better understand the association of excessive fructose intake and...
