Figure 2. Metabolic measures and dietary intakes in juvenile/adolescent rats fed ad-libitum sugar solution.
Body weights (A), total kcal intake (chow + sugar solutions; B), chow intake (C) and sugar intake (D) for animals who received ad libitum access to 11% w/v HFCS-55 (HFCS-ad lib) or a second water bottle for the control group (control). Results from an intraperitoneal glucose tolerance testing (IP GTT; D–E), showed no differences between the two treatment groups. Data are means ± SEM; n=12/group, *P< .05.
