Summary Introduction

To review:

The conclusion about the fructose-fed mice versus those without fructose from the given data in graph and impact of omega-3 fatty acids on memory in this test.

Introduction:

Fructose is a simple fruit sugar mainly found in plants and is a ketonic monosaccharide. Omega-3 fatty acids are classified as the polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are mainly found in walnuts, fish, and canola oil.

Animal models are generally used to study the effect of the diet on the health of an individual. A trained mice to escape a maze chamber was used to study the effects fructose consumption on the memory. In the experiment the mice was fed with chow, which was supplemented with omega-3-fatty acid, fructose solution or both.

The results obtained after 6 months have been shown below in the form of a bar graph. In the graph shown below, * represents the probability value less than 0.05 and ** represents the probability value less than 0.01.
