Chronic consumption of the dietary polyphenol chrysin attenuates metabolic disease in fructose-fed rats

Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a major public health issue worldwide and fructose consumption has been associated with MS development. Recently, we showed that the dietary polyphenol chrysin is an effective inhibitor of fructose uptake by human intestinal epithelial cells. Therefore, our aim was to investigate if chrysin interferes with the development of MS induced by fructose in an animal model. Adult male Sprague–Dawley rats (220–310 g) were...
