rats were given daily dexamethasone in drinking water corresponding to 0.5 mg/kg or 2 mg/kg. These rats are simultaneously fed 25% fat, 3% salt in diet and 10% fructose in drinking water but mortality started at day 8 of daily and increased dramatically.

rats have sever hypoglycemia, reduced body weight before death.

Control high fat/fructose/salt rats seem healthy without mortality so far.

It was noted also that daily subcutaneous injection of dexa to normal rats gave the same results

What would be explanation for this finding?
