homeostasis/metabolism
N
• mice exhibit normal blood chemistry and tissue metabolite levels (J:166959)
N
• 2-month-old mice show no differences in body weight, liver, and epididymal fat weight, blood pressure, or biochemical analyses at baseline (J:182240)
• mice show higher baseline serum fructose levels
• serum fructose levels increase further with high fructose intake
• mice fed 30% fructose show reduced total energy expenditure than wild-type mice
• fructose-fed mice have much more glycogen accumulation in the liver than wild-type mice
• urinary fructose is elevated in fructose-fed mice
• mice fed 30% fructose are protected from the metabolic effects of fructose, showing complete protection from the increases in weight gain, total body fat, epididymal fat, serum insulin, serum leptin, serum LDL cholesterol, hepatic FAS expression, and hepatic steatosis that are seen in wild-type mice fed 15% fructose

behavior/neurological
• mice do not show a preference for fructose water over normal water
• mice given 30% fructose receive 32.4% of their total energy intake as fructose compared to wild-type mice which receive 45%, indicating lower cumulative energy intake as fructose and increased as chow

reproductive system
N
• mice exhibit normal fertility

liver/biliary system
• mice fed 30% fructose show higher intrahepatic uric acid levels and lower intrahepatic phosphate levels than wild-type mice
• fructose-fed mice have much more glycogen accumulation in the liver than wild-type mice
• mice fed 30% fructose show complete protection from hepatic steatosis that is seen in wild-type mice fed 15% fructose

embryo
N
• mice exhibit normal development

renal/urinary system
• urinary fructose is elevated in fructose-fed mice
