HFD feeding increased body weight in both WTHFD and TNF-HFD groups, but genetic ablation of TNF-α attenuated HFD-induced obesity. In visceral adipose tissues, HFD elevated Wnt/β-catenin signaling, indicated by decreased phospho-GSK3β and active β-catenin, two key components within the Wnt pathway, and dysregulated adipogenesis, indicated by reduced PPARγ/CEBPα expressions.

Unripe plantains have a potential as food that controls blood sugar due to their pectin and resistant starch (RS2) content. The content of resistant starch in plantains can be elevated by a physical modification method through a repeated boiling-cooling process to produce a more heat-stable resistant starch (RS3). The study aimed to determine the effect of consuming physically modified unripe plantain flour (RS3) compared with unmodified unripe plantain flour (RS2) and standard corn starch as control. Rats were randomly assigned into three groups; group 1 given a standard diet based on AIN-93M diet recommendation containing corn starch but the casein was replaced by skim milk powder, group 2 given unmodified unripe plantain flour (RS2), and group 3 given physically modified unripe plantain flour (RS3) as a substitute for corn starch.
