Abstract

The high-sucrose diet does not enhance spontaneous metastasis of Lewis lung carcinoma in mice.

  • There were no differences in energy intake among the high-sucrose, high-fat, and control diet groups.
  • The high-sucrose group had a higher percent body fat mass than the control group but lower than the high-fat group.
  • The number and size of lung metastases were significantly higher in the high-fat group compared to the control group.
  • Measurements of lung metastases in the high-sucrose group were similar to those in the control group.
  • Hepatic triacylglycerol levels and plasma concentrations of insulin and certain proinflammatory and angiogenic factors were significantly lower in the high-sucrose group than in the high-fat group.
