Trans unsaturated fatty acids are produced commercially in large quantities by heating vegetable oils in the presence of metal catalysts and hydrogen to form shortening and margarine.1 They are so named because the carbon atoms adjacent to their double bonds are on opposite sides, resulting in a straight configuration and a solid state at room temperature. In contrast, naturally occurring unsaturated fatty acids contain double bonds as cis isomers, with adjacent carbons on the same side of the… Expand

Trial to Assess the Effects of Different Trans-fatty Acids on Endothelial Function in Humans
The aim of the study is to compare a diet rich in trans fatty acids (TFA) from ruminant sources with a diet rich in TFA from hydrogenated vegetable oils (PHVO) in regard to their… Expand

Nutritional Aspects of Trans Fatty Acids
Most naturally occurring unsaturated fatty acids have their double bonds in the cis configuration. This cis configuration makes the molecule bend at the place of that double bond. Trans Fatty Acids… Expand
Trans fatty acids and cardiovascular disease.
TLDR
The authors consider the feasibility and potential implications of reducing or eliminating the consumption of trans fatty acids from partially hydrogenated vegetable oils in the United States. Expand
The role of trans fatty acids in human nutrition
The role of dietary fats and oils in human nutrition is currently one of the key issues related to diet and health. Nutritional fats and oils contain both saturated and unsaturated fatty acids,… Expand
Dietary trans fatty acid.
TLDR
It would appear prudent that public health recommendations should be aimed at encouraging the moderate consumption of products low in saturated fat or minimally hydrogenated, as trans fatty acids intake should not be stressed at the expense of saturated fat but should augment it. Expand
Trans Fatty Acid Issue and Isomers: -Industrial Trans Fatty Acid and Natural Trans Fatty Acid-@@@－工業型トランス脂肪酸と天然型トランス脂肪酸－
It is paid much attention for the amount of trans fatty acid (TFA) intake in many countries because the risk of cardiovascular disease increases with increment of TFA amount in meal. On the other… Expand
Trans fatty acid-forming processes in foods: a review.
There is a mounting concern about the intake of foods containing trans fatty acids (TFA) due to their deleterious effects on human health, mainly on the cardiovascular system. In this way, it is… Expand
The negative effects of hydrogenated trans fats and what to do about them.
Partially hydrogenated vegetable oils have been in the American diet since 1900. More than 50 years ago they were found to contain trans fatty acids that were different from natural fatty acids in… Expand
Trans Fatty Acids and Cardiovascular Disease Risk
Trans fatty acids (TFA) are fatty acids that contain at least one double bond that is in the trans configuration. TFA are consumed mainly with industrial partially hydrogenated vegetable fats that… Expand
In equal amounts, the major ruminant trans fatty acid is as bad for LDL cholesterol as industrially produced trans fatty acids, but the latter are easier to remove from foods.

TLDR
The increasing effect on HDL cholesterol is of special interest because LDL cholesterol appears to be a causal factor for the development of CAD, and this effect on LDL cholesterol may start in early childhood with the intake of foods with high amounts of iTFAs. Expand
Current Topics on Trans Fatty Acids
Trans fatty acids (TFAs) are positional isomers of cis fatty acids. TFAs are mainly produced by partial hydrogenation of unsaturated fatty acids and widely found in a variety of foods, including… Expand

Trans fatty acids: are the effects only marginal?
TLDR
The combined results of metabolic and epidemiological studies provide strong evidence that trans fatty acid intake is causally related to risk of coronary disease and federal regulations should require manufacturers to include trans fatty acids content in food labels and should aim to greatly reduce or eliminate the use of partially hydrogenated vegetable fats. Expand

The role of unnatural dietary trans and cis unsaturated fatty acids in the epidemiology of coronary artery disease.
TLDR
It is proposed that on the basis of available evidence, unnatural dietary trans and cis unsaturated fatty acid isomers should be regarded as a definite risk factor in the etiology of coronary artery disease. Expand
Effects of different forms of dietary hydrogenated fats on serum lipoprotein cholesterol levels.
TLDR
The consumption of products that are low in trans fatty acids and saturated fat has beneficial effects on serum lipoprotein cholesterol levels, andRatios of total cholesterol to HDL cholesterol were lowest after the consumption of the soybean-oil diet and semiliquid-margarine diet and highest after the stick-Margarine diet. Expand
Trans isomers of oleic and linoleic acids in adipose tissue and sudden cardiac death
TLDR
Overall, there was no evidence of a relation between trans isomers of oleic and linoleic acids combined and sudden cardiac death, and smoking was the only factor that remained independently associated with risk ofudden cardiac death. Expand
Trans fatty acids and their effects on lipoproteins in humans.
TLDR
Trans and cis unsaturated fatty acids are not equivalent, and diets aimed at reducing the risk of coronary heart disease should be low in both trans and saturated fatty acids. Expand
Adipose tissue isomeric trans fatty acids and risk of myocardial infarction in nine countries: the EURAMIC study
TLDR
The results reflect considerable differences between countries in dietary intake of trans fatty acids but do not suggest a major overall effect of C18:1 trans fatty fatty acids on risk of AMI, although it cannot exclude the possibility that trans fatty acid have a significant impact on riskof AMI in populations with high intake. Expand
Trans-fatty acids intake and risk of myocardial infarction.
TLDR
The hypothesis that intake of partially hydrogenated vegetable oils may contribute to the risk of myocardial infarction is supported, after adjustment for established coronary risk factors, multivitamin use, and intake of saturated fat, monounsaturated fat, linoleic acid, dietary cholesterol, vitamins E and C, carotene, and fiber. Expand
Effect of dietary trans fatty acids on high-density and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels in healthy subjects.
TLDR
The effect of trans fatty acids on the serum lipoprotein profile is at least as unfavorable as that of the cholesterol-raising saturated fatty acids, because they not only raise LDL cholesterol levels but also lower HDL cholesterol levels. Expand
