- Abstract
The article focuses on a study conducted to compare the effects of fructose and glucose on cerebral blood flow (CBF) in the area of brain involved in with appetite and reward pathways. The study was conducted on twenty healthy research volunteers who underwent two magnetic resonance imaging sessions in a medical facility at Yale University with administering fructose and glucose drinks to the participants. According to the results, CBF was significantly reduced after glucose and fructose ingestion as fructose is responsible for making a connection between hypothalamus and striatum.
