On the Relative Nutritional Efficiency of Sucrose and Glucose in the Albino Rat1

Alvin R. Lamb and Robert Nakamura

Department of Physiology and Biochemistry, Experiment Station, Hawaiian Sugar Planters' Association, Honolulu

There is much evidence in the literature that fructose (and sucrose) follow a somewhat different metabolic path in the animal body than glucose. Two feeding experiments are reported in which sucrose and glucose were fed to rats at a level of 67% of a complete ration. Analysis of the carcasses indicated that the body storage in calories per calorie of food ingested showed a slight difference in favor of the sucrose ration.
