For this purpose, pregnant drinking water in content of 15% HFCS and sucrose was administered to rats for 20 days. During the experiment, weekly body weights, and fasting and postprandial blood glucose levels were evaluated in rats.At the end of the experiment liver and pancreas of mother rats and liver and placentas of fetuses were investigated and monitorized potential histopathological finding by Leica light microscopy.
