In this study, we examined the preventing effect of D-psicose on the accumulation of body fat in rats. Four-week-old Wistar rats were fed with a high fructose corn syrup(HFCS) diet or a HFCS diet containing 1.3%, 2.6%, 3.9% or 5.2% of D-psicose for 5 weeks. The effects of D-psicose on body weight, food intake, total fat and various blood biochemical parameters were examined. Rats fed with HFCS diet containing 5.2% of D-psicose showed a significant reduction in body weight compared to those fed with HFCS diet. The groups given D-psicose showed dose-dependent decrease in perirenal fat and total fat weight. These results suggest that D-psicose has an effect to prevent the accumulation of body fat against HFCS intake.
