Dietary products such as milk and meat are the primary sources of natural TFAs for humans. These peculiar fatty acids hold nutritional significance as they not only lack the detrimental effects of industrially produced fats on the endothelium characteristic, but they also exhibit anti-inflammatory properties.

A comprehensive search was carried out using three databases: PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. All the databases were searched for Randomized Controlled Trials or crossover design studies assessing the effects of supplementation on cycling performance in comparison with placebos in healthy adults.

- Somatotropin, a hormone produced in the pituitary gland of vertebrates, can boost milk production in cattle but is banned in the EU due to food safety concerns and limited knowledge about its effects on milk quality.
- A study analyzed milk from both control and rbST-treated cows, revealing a shift toward a less saturated fatty acid profile and an increase in monounsaturated fatty acids in the rbST-treated group.
- The milk from treated cows showed differences in composition, including higher lactose and protein levels but lower calcium and potassium than regular milk, highlighting the hormone's significant impact on milk quality.
Although milk consumption is increasing worldwide, in some geographical regions, its consumption has persistently declined in recent decades. This fact, together with the increase in milk production prices, has caused both milk producers and the dairy industry to be immersed in a major crisis. Some possible solutions to this problem are to get people who do not currently consume milk to start drinking it again, or to market milk and dairy products with a higher added value.
