ABSTRACT

"Our results suggest that dietary intake of TFAs is associated with systemic inflammation in generally healthy women, as reflected by higher TNF receptor concentrations, as well as higher IL-6 and CRP concentrations in women with higher BMI, and that these associations are independent of various other characteristics including serum lipid concentrations. This observed relation between TFA intake and systemic inflammation may represent a novel potential mechanism for the effects of TFAs on risks of coronary artery disease and diabetes. Further study is indicated to investigate the potential proinflammatory effects of TFAs and the implications of such effects for risks of coronary artery disease, diabetes, and other conditions."
