Objective The effects of type 2 resistant starch from high‐amylose maize (HAM‐RS2) in rodents fed with low‐fat diets were demonstrated in previous studies. Fish oil is also reported to reduce body fat. In the current study, the effects of high fat and fish oil on HAM‐RS2 feeding in rats were investi...
