Abstract:

Epidemiological studies have demonstrated that trans-fatty acid (TFA) intake from diet increase the risk of some chronic diseases through blood lipid metabolism and inflammation pathway. Under the condition of oil added TFA with cholesterol-free (0% cholesterol) and 33% energy supplement from fat, the effect of TFA on lipid metabolism of rats was observed during 90 d feeding. The experimental diet with TFA significantly increased TG, lowered HDL-C, LPL and HL activity, suggesting that TFA could change fatty acid profile to induce the abnormity of TG metabolism. Meanwhile, TFA significantly depressed TC and LDL-C and improved HDL-C/LDL-C ratio, but did not exhibit effect on C-reactive protein (CRP) due to having no effect on the abnormity of cholesterol metabolism.

Key words: Trans fatty acids, cholesterol metabolism, C-reactive protein, lipase
