Effect of Dry Tomato Peel Supplementation on Glucose Tolerance, Insulin Resistance, and Hepatic Markers in Mice Fed High-Saturated-Fat/High-Cholesterol Diets

Many studies have investigated the effect of crude tomato peel in vivo, but no studies have determined the dose-effect of dry tomato peel (DTP) on glucose intolerance, insulin resistance, and atherogenic dyslipidemia induced by a high-saturated-fat diet in vivo. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of different doses of DTP on the levels of oxidative stress in mice fed a high-saturated-fat and cholesterol-rich diet for 12 weeks. The main outcomes are glucose and insulin tolerance, plasma lipids, and hepatic steatosis and inflammation.
