Genetic and environmental factors play a significant role in the development of obesity. Diet is one of the primary environmental factors contributing to obesity and related metabolic diseases. Studies have shown that a continuous increase in fat intake easily leads to weight gain, resulting in obesity and associated metabolic disorders. Rodents exhibit significant weight gain when fed a high-fat diet, making the rodent model widely used in studying the pathogenesis and treatment of diet-induced obesity (DIO).
