Influence of trans fatty acids on infant and fetus development.
Trans isomers are formed from cis unsaturated fatty acids during biohydrogenation by rumen microorganisms and by commercial partial hydrogenation during the processing of vegetable and fish oils. Recent estimates indicate that consumers in Western countries may receive from 0.5-2.1% to 2.5% of total energy intake as trans fatty acids. In recent years special attention has been given to the pote...
متن کاملTrans 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 کامل[The importance of essential fatty acids and the effect of trans fatty acids in human milk on fetal and neonatal development].
Breastfeeding has a major impact on public health, since human breast milk is the best food for infants up to six months of age. The lipid fraction in human milk is the main source of energy for the infant and supplies essential nutrients such as fat-soluble vitamins and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). Essential fatty acids (EFA), specifically linoleic acid (LA, 18:2n-6) and alpha-linolenic...

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...
