Developmental Programming by High Fructose Decreases Phosphorylation Efficiency in Aging Offspring Brain Mitochondria, Correlating with Enhanced UCP5 Expression
23 Apr 2014
Abstract excerpt
Fructose has recently been observed to affect brain metabolism and cognitive function in adults. Yet, possible late-onset effects by gestational fructose exposure have not been examined. We evaluated mitochondrial function in the brain of aging (15 months) male offspring of Fischer F344 rat dams fed a high-fructose diet (50% energy from fructose) during gestation and lactation. Maternal fructose exposure caused a...
