Table 2. Triglycerides concentrations (mg/dL) in the liver, heart and adipose tissue (Mesenteric, Retroperitoneal and Subcutaneous regions) at the end of the experiment.
| Groups | Liver (umol/mg) | Heart (umol/mg) | Soleus (umol/mg) | Mesenteric (umol/mg) | Retro-Peritoneal (umol/mg) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| C | 2.7 ± 0.8a | 0.64 ± 0.07 | 0.31 ± 0.02a | 46.1 ± 1.83 | 70.1 ± 1.94a |
| F | 16.5 ± 0.35b | 0.71 ± 0.03 | 1.34 ± 0.11b | 57.5 ± 3.46 | 115.7 ± 10.11b |
| FA | 11.5 ± 0.32c | 0.56 ± 0.04 | 0.45 ± 0.03c | 44.9 ± 4.87 | 81.7 ± 5.44c |
| FAS | 6.8 ± 0.32d | 0.53 ± 0.03 | 0.59 ± 0.06c | 48.1 ± 3.11 | 93.3 ± 9.01c |
| FS | 4.6 ± 0.15e | 0.55 ± 0.07 | 0.67 ± 0.04c | 51.9 ± 4.56 | 65.7 ± 3.25a |
C: Control; F: Fructose; FA: Fructose Aerobic; FAS: Fructose Combined; FS: Fructose Strength. n = 14 animals per group. Different letters mean significant difference. F and FA groups had increased liver triglycerides’ concentrations as compared to the other groups (p ≤ 0.0001–0.05), while the FS group had a lower liver triglycerides’ concentration than F, FA, and FAS (p < 0.05); F, FA, FAS, and FS had higher concentrations of triglycerides in the liver than the C group (p ≥ 0.05). The F group had a higher retroperitoneal triglycerides’ content than the C and FS groups (p ≤ 0.001–0.01). All exercised animals had a higher concentration of muscle triglycerides than the C group (p ≤ 0.05) but lower concentrations than F (p ≤ 0.001).
