Body weight gain (g), liver weight (g), skeletal muscle weight (g), vWAT weight (g), and serum triglycerides (mg/100 ml) in CY, FY, CA, and FA rats. CY: Young rats receiving a standard diet for 2 weeks; FY: Young rats receiving a fructose-rich diet for 2 weeks; CA: Adult rats receiving a standard diet for 2 weeks; FA: Adult rats receiving a fructose-rich diet for 2 weeks. Values are the means ± SEM of six different rats (n = 6). Values with different symbols are significantly different: *p < 0.05 vs. CY; #p < 0.05 vs. CA; $p < 0.05 vs. FY and CA (p < 0.05, Tukey post-test). CY: Young rats receiving a standard diet for 2 weeks; FY: Young rats receiving a fructose-rich diet for 2 weeks; CA: Adult rats receiving a standard diet for 2 weeks; FA: Adult rats receiving a fructose-rich diet for 2 weeks.
