1.2%
1/82 • Number of events 1 • During 3 month fructose diet 75 g/day.
Of the 82 subjects, two subjects discontinued the intervention study: one developed a skin rash, which was considered as possible allergic reaction to flavouring and the other subject discontinued in response to his dentist's advice. In addition, the data from magnetic resonance examinations at baseline or after the fructose intervention were not sufficient from nine subjects for technical reasons to allow the analyses of different fat depots. Thus, 71 subjects completed the full study protocol.
