The measurements were taken on days 0 and 20 which correspond to 38th and 58th days of the high fructose water treatment period. Kidney index was measured at the end of the treatment period. Results are expressed in mean ± SEM. ∗, ‡, $, and @ indicate statistical significance as compared to control, F2, FG, and G groups, respectively (P < 0.05).
