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 کاملTrans fatty acids and coronary heart disease.
Epidemiologic evidence has linked trans fatty acids (TFAs) in the diet to coronary heart disease in human populations. It has been estimated that dietary TFAs from partially hydrogenated oils may be responsible for between 30,000 and 100,000 premature coronary deaths per year in the United States. Although it is known that TFAs increase low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels and decre...
متن کاملTrans-fatty acids and sudden cardiac death.
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is usually due to ventricular fibrillation and can occur as a first manifestation of heart disease. Prevention of ventricular fibrillation and SCD with n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids is well documented. Trans-fatty acids (TFA) in the diet and cell membranes might affect the risk of SCD as well. We review evidence from an observational study that high levels of trans-...
متن کاملTrans Fatty Acids and Human Health
According to various studies, fats of animal and vegetable origins satisfy 22% to 42% of the daily energy demands of human beings (Srinivasan et al., 2006; Wagner et al., 2008; Willet, 2006). Some fats, and especially those that are hydrogenated, contain trans fatty acids (TFAs), i.e. unsaturated fatty acids with at least one double bond in a trans configuration (Craig-Schmidt, 2006). This tran...
