What is the difference between trans fats and other fats?

Like saturated fats, the trans fats (margarines), also
reffered as solid fats because they are solid at rootm temperature are considered
potentially harmful because they can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease by
increasing of LDL cholesterol.


Since the trans fats are
mainly obtained while processing food, hence, they will negatively affect the function
of delta-6-desaturase enzymes because they are not naturally produced by human
body.


The synthesis of C-reactive protein is promoted by
trans fatty acids intake, leading to arterial
inflammation.


The process of insulin binding is also
activated by trans fatty acids intake leading to complications in
diabetes.
