To study this, we maintain...
متن کاملVanadyl sulfate prevents fructose-induced hyperinsulinemia and hypertension in rats.
To determine whether insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia are causally related to fructose-induced hypertension, we used vanadyl sulfate, a drug that improves insulin sensitivity in rats. Chronic oral vanadyl treatment was initiated in 6-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats. One week after vanadyl was started, rats were fed either normal rat chow or a fructose-enriched diet. Plasma glucose and ...
