[Consumption of Trans fatty acids and the risk of cardiovascular diseases]

ABSTRACT

Introduction and Aims: dietary Tran's fatty acids [TFA] comes mostly from the industrial hydrogenation of unsaturated vegetable oils. TFA also are formed during the natural bacterial hydrogenation of unsaturated fatty acids that occurs in the rumen of polygastric ruminants such as cattle, sheep, and goats. The epidemiologic evidences suggest that the intake of Tran's fatty acid may be associated with increased risk of cardiovascular diseases [CVD] such as atherosclerosis or chronic heart disease [CHD]. The purpose of the current study is better understanding of effects of TFA on cardiovascular disease. So, the available evidences from studies were reviewed
