Table 1 Body weight, food intake and serum metabolites levels in mice fed either the control diet or obesogenic diets (high-sugar (HS), high-fat (HF) and high-sugar/high-fat (HSHF)) for eight weeks.

From: Combination of a high-fat diet with sweetened condensed milk exacerbates inflammation and insulin resistance induced by each separately in mice

  1. *Caloric ingestion considered the food ingestion calories for CD and HF group and food ingestion plus condensed milk intake calories for HS and HSHF groups; **Fasted for 3–4 hours. CD, control diet; HS, high-sugar diet; HF, high-fat diet; HSHF, high-sugar/high-fat diet; LDL-cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; AUC, area under the curve of glycaemia - values obtained from the glucose tolerance test (GTT); kITT (%/min), the constant rate for plasma glucose disappearance - values obtained from the insulin tolerance test (ITT). The results are shown as the mean ± S.E.M. (n = 12–13). The values were analysed using the one-way ANOVA and Tukey’s post-test. (a) P < 0.05 versus CD; (b) P < 0.05 versus HS; and (c) P < 0.05 versus HF.
