The Effects Of Fructose-Induced Metabolic Syndrome On Renal Haemodynamic And Excretory Function In Rat

This study investigated whether the α1-adrenoceptor responsiveness of the renal vasculature was altered in a metabolic syndrome state due to high-fructose feeding. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed for 8 weeks with 20% fructose in the drinking water (F), while their controls received tap water (C) t...
