Scientists have found that overripe bananas may offer more than just sweetness. As they age and develop brown spots, they produce a compound called tumor necrosis factor (TNF), which supports the body’s immune response and helps fight abnormal or harmful cells.

Correlation between age, innate immune response, and vulnerability to mental disorders. In males, fetal and childhood/adolescence age are marked by increased pro-inflammatory response accompanied by higher vulnerability to neurodevelopmental disorders. On the other hand, adult females have increased pro-inflammatory responses and increased vulnerability to affective disorders. During old age, females are more prone to develop Alzheimer’s disease, while presenting decreased inflammatory response Immunological changes in the fetal brain in response to injury or dysfunction during pregnancy are sex-dependent and related to the development of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Infection during pregnancy activates the mother’s immune system, which releases pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin (IL)-6, IL-1β, TNF, and others. These cytokines pass through to the developing fetus enhance the production of fetus-derived cytokines and initiate a neuroinflammation cascade. This leads to the abnormal development of neurons, as well as alterations in synaptic transmission, which may further lead to the development of ASD Peripheral inflammation and stress effects in the microglia activation and the resulting neuroinflammation. In females, fluctuations in sex hormones, such as estrogen, are associated with increased brain pro-inflammatory cytokines, reduction in BDNF levels and neurogenesis, and consequent depressive-like behavior
