Reducing sugars, such as fructose, glucose and galactose, were present in trace amount and were not quantified.
A small amount of fructose per day sustained a large weight loss for more than one year, with no sign of regain.
Open symbols indicate periods without any treatment (no fructose or anything else).
Quantification of unmetabolised fructose and glucose, containing also pentoses derived from the pentose phosphate pathway, was made in the void volume of the column.
The glucose/fructose concentration ratio was generally between 1 and 1.6 in all organs.
According to the explanation described below, the crucial feature of the fructose water was that it supplied calories with no flavor except sweetness.
The metabolism and conversion of fructose and glucose are not equivalent even though carbon dioxide production is similar and increasing from morula to blastocyst.
Species consumed contained a relatively greater amount of monosaccharides: 45% + 17.5% of total sugars was glucose, 47% + 19.3% fructose, and only 7.7% + 12.4% was sucrose.
