Figure 3. Insulinemia and leptinemia are increased in rats fed with a 60%-rich fructose diet.

Plasma insulin and leptin (expressed in pg per mL of plasma) were quantified in the rat after 1, 3, and 6 months of feeding with either the standard (S) or 60%-rich fructose (F) diet. * and ** statistically different at p≤0.05 and 0.01, respectively (Mann & Whitney test). Values are given as means ± SD (n = 8 rats per group).
