Article Synopsis
- Trans fatty acids, particularly elaidic acid found in processed foods, can lead to serious liver, heart, and kidney disorders, including metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), cardiovascular disease (CVD), and chronic kidney disease (CKD).
- A study on rabbits showed that those consuming Mujahid Ghee, high in elaidic acid, exhibited significantly higher levels of liver, heart, and kidney biomarkers compared to those consuming other fats like oleic acid or Kausar Ghee.
- The study found that antioxidant enzyme activity was lower in rabbits consuming Mujahid Ghee, indicating that elaidic acid may worsen liver condition and contribute to heart and kidney issues.
Pollinators can detect the color, shape, scent, and even temperature of the flowers they want to visit. Here, we present the previously unappreciated capacity of hoverflies (Eristalis tenax and Cheilosia albipila) to detect the electric field surrounding flowers. Using hoverflies as key dipteran pollinators, we explored the electrical interactions between flies and flowers-how a hoverfly acquired a charge and how their electrical sensing ability for target flowers contributed to nectar identification and pollination.
