  1. Values (mean ± SD) were obtained from groups CON (AIN diet and water for 20 weeks); HF (AIN diet + 20% fructose solution in water for 20 weeks) and HFS (8% NaCl in AIN93 diet + 20% fructose solution in water for 10 weeks after previous treatment for a period of 10 weeks with HF). Different superscript letters within the same row indicate significant difference at P < 0.05 by one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s test. High-density lipoprotein (HDL); paraoxonase1 activity (PON1).
