Abstract excerpt
This study aimed to characterize the impact of dietary copper on the biochemical and hepatic metabolite changes associated with fructose toxicity in a Wistar rat model of fructose-induced liver disease. Twenty-four male and 24 female, 6-week-old, Wister rats were separated into four experimental dietary treatment groups (6 males and 6 females per group), as follows: (1) a control diet: containing no fructose with...
