Higher fructose intake was associated with MS components in KTRs; leaves open whether reducing intake improves metabolic outcomes.
Do dietary fructose intake and systemic endotoxemia associate with metabolic syndrome and obesity in kidney transplant recipients?
Increased dietary fructose intake and systemic endotoxemia are independently associated with metabolic syndrome and obesity in kidney transplant recipients, suggesting potential targets for metabolic health improvement.
