Trans Fatty Acids
What are trans fatty acids (TFA)? Fatty acids found in foods can be saturated (SFA, no double bonds), monounsaturated (MUFA, 1 double bond) or polyunsaturated (PUFA , 2 or more double bonds). The double bonds provide rigidity to the molecule and result in specific molecular configurations. Naturally occurring fatty acids in foods usually have the cis configuration, i.e. the hydrogen atoms with ...
متن کاملMechanisms of action of (n-3) fatty acids.
(n-3) PUFA are a family of biologically active fatty acids. The simplest member of this family, α-linolenic acid, can be converted to the more biologically active very long-chain (n-3) PUFA EPA and DHA; this process occurs by a series of desaturation and elongation reactions, with stearidonic acid being an intermediate in the pathway. Biological activity of α-linolenic and stearidonic acids mos...
متن کاملSignificance of Trans Fatty Acids in Cancer
Trans fatty acids (TFAs) are a recent focus of health problems. TFA is a definitive risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and the death. TF A is also possible risk factor for Alzheimer's disease, obesity, diabetes, fatty liver, and ovulation infertility. The relationship between TF A and carcinogenic risk is controversial; however, TF A is reported to increase the risk of breast cancer and pr...
متن کاملMetabolic implications of dietary trans-fatty acids.
Dietary trans-fatty acids are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease and have been implicated in the incidence of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). It is established that high-fat saturated diets, relative to low-fat diets, induce adiposity and whole-body insulin resistance. Here, we test the hypothesis that markers of an obese, prediabetic state (fatty liver, visce...
