LEP and Glucose intolerance: In a comparative study between a diet rich in condensed milk and one rich in fat, Masi et al. [69] found increased body weight gain, glucose intolerance, hepatic fibrogenesis, increased relative expression of collagen mRNA and TNF-α in the liver, and leptin in epididymal adipose tissue of C57BL/6 male mice fed with the diet rich in condensed milk, indicating that this ingredient is more inflammatory than fat, represented by lard.
