Experientia Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

In humans, as well as in mice, fed on high carbohydrate diets, there was a significant sex difference in the plasma triglycerides in that males had higher levels than females. This was mainly due to the difference in their removal rate of circulating triglycerides in the animals of both sexes. In mice, males had higher levels of liver triglycerides as well as higher rate of incorporation of U-14C-glucose into liver triglycerides when compared to females.
