Organ weight to body weight ratios. (a) Liver ( ), (b) epididymal adipose tissue ( ), (c) right kidney ( -7), and (d) left kidney ( -7), at the end of the dietary intervention. Results were expressed as mean standard error of the mean. # CONT versus FRUCT, ## FRUCT versus FRUCTMIN, and * CONT versus FRUCT. AT: adipose tissue; CONT: control; FRUCT: 10% fructose in tap water; FRUCTMIN: 10% fructose in natural mineral-rich water; G : global .
