Effect of high fructose diet induced metabolic syndrome on the pituitary-gonadal axis from adolescence through adulthood in male albino rats and the possible protective role of ginger extract. A biochemical, histological and immunohistochemical study.

CONCLUSIONS: Consumption of HFrD induced MetS and proved to have harmful effects on the pituitary - testicular axis. Moreover, this work provided a new insight into the possible use of ginger extract to alleviate the main features of MetS and protect the pituitary-gonadal axis from the damaging effects of HFrD induced MetS.
