Young Osborne-Mendel rats were given different diets ad libitum for 6 weeks. Food was either a purified powder with sucrose (15%) or commercial pellets, and drink was either distilled water or a sugar-containing (6%) sport-drink with or without added fluoride (F), magnesium (Mg) or both. Despite differences in the energy density of the diets, daily intakes were the same in terms of metabolisable energy and resulted in equal weight gains for all groups. Interscapular brown fat hypertrophied in response to powdered food, while both sugar-containing food and sport-drink were effective in accumulating white fat. When exposed to cold air at -20 degrees C for 2-4 h, most of the rats were able to maintain normothermia. Only the rats fed pelleted food and given distilled water were less resistant to cold than the others. After exposure to cold, the reserves of muscle glycogen were least in those rats having the poorest performance in the cold. In contrast, the stores of liver glycogen, plasma glucose and adrenal ascorbic acid were associated with pelleted food, rather than with the exposure to cold or type of drink. It is concluded that the presence of purified, simple sugars, either in food or drink, is the most likely explanation of the results obtained. The F and Mg supplements to the sport-drink did not modify the parameters measured.
