Low Fructose and Low Salt Diets Increase Mitochondrial DNA
in White Blood Cells of Overweight Subjects
"The mechanism for protection could relate to a
reduction in oxidative stress, as changes in oxidants
paralleled the changes in mitochondrial density."
In low Na+/fructose group:
• 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNPH) decreased 52%
Uric acid decreased 22%
