Figure 1From: Desaturation index versus isotopically measured de novo lipogenesis as an indicator of acute systemic lipogenesis The effect of high sucrose consumption on plasma fatty acid concentrations. Beagles consuming either high sucrose meal providing 3.9 kcal/g of diet with 74% of calories from carbohydrate (High Sucrose; 400 g; 1560 kcal) or normal chow diet providing 3.5 kcal/g of diet with 44% of calories from carbohydrate (Control; 250 g; 875 kcal). A) Palmitic acid plasma concentrations, B) stearic acid plasma concentrations and C) oleic acid concentrations. Data are expressed as means ± SEM; n = 6.Back to article page
