Abstract

Serial changes in circulating triglyceride, free fatty acids (FFA), insulin, and glucose have been measured in human subjects fed sucrose as the sole source of calories for 2- or 3-day periods. The sucrose was given either during the day with overnight fasting (19 subjects) or as continual 3-hour meals during the day and night (seven subjects). Insulin was infused overnight in five additional subjects on the day-feeding regimen to determine the effect on triglyceride concentration.
