In this study, female rats treated with nonaromatizable 5α dihydrotestosterone (DHT) were used as an animal model of PCOS. The aim of this study was to assess the presence of inflammation in liver and visceral adipose tissue (VAT), which accompanies metabolic disturbances in animal model of PCOS. F...

Overconsumption of fructoseenriched beverages and everyday stress are both involved in the pathogenesis of metabolic disorders through their effects on hepatic lipid metabolism.

Therefore, we analyzed the effects of 9-week 20% liquid fructose diet and 4-week chronic unpredictable stress, separately and in combination, on dyslipidemia, VL...
