Abstract
The present systematic review of animal studies on long-term fructose intake in rodents revealed a significant decrease in the activities of antioxidant enzymes due to a fructose-rich diet. The reduced activity of these enzymes led to an increase in oxidative stress, which can cause liver damage in rodents. Of eight studies analyzed, 5 (62.5%) and 1 (12.5%) used male and female rats, respectively, while 2 studies (25%) used female mice. Moreover, half of the studies used HFCS, but the other half employed fructose in the diet. Hence, it is essential to monitor dietary habits to ensure public health and nutrition research outcomes.
