Answer:

Fructose-fed mice will have increased chances of obesity, diabetes, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. While those without fructose-fed will have normal body metabolism.

Step-by-step explanation:

Eventually, every cell in the body uses glucose for energy. In contrast, only liver cells break down fructose. One of the end products is triglyceride, a form of fat. Uric acid and free radicals are also formed.

  • Triglycerides can added to in liver cells and impaired liver function.
  • Uric acid can stop production of nitric oxide, a substance that helps protect artery walls from damage.
  • Another Bad effect of high fructose intake is insulin resistance, a condition which leads to diabetes.
