Aim: Many cohort studies have shown that increased trans fatty acid (TFA) intake increases the risk of developing coronary heart disease. However, whether TFA intake is directly associated with the development of diabetes mellitus (DM) remains unknown.
Methods: We performed the 75-g oral glucose tolerance test in two Japanese cohorts: a cohort of 454 native Japanese living in Hiroshima, Japan, and a cohort of 426 Japanese-Americans living in Los Angeles, USA, who shared identical genetic predispositions but had different lifestyles. Serum elaidic acid concentration was measured and compared, and its association with insulin resistance was assessed.
Results: Serum elaidic acid concentrations were significantly higher in the Japanese-Americans (median, 18.2 µmol/L) than in the native Japanese (median, 11.0 µmol/L). The serum elaidic acid concentrations in the native Japanese DM group (16.0 µmol/L) were significantly higher compared with those in the normal glucose tolerance (10.8 µmol/L) and impaired glucose tolerance (11.7 µmol/L) groups. Multiple linear regression analyses showed that serum elaidic acid concentrations were significantly positively associated with homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) values after adjusting for various factors.
Conclusions: These results suggest that excessive TFA intake worsens insulin resistance and increases the risk of developing DM even in the native Japanese, whose intakes of animal fat and simple carbohydrates were presumed to be lower than those of the Japanese-Americans.

Article Synopsis
- * 24 male Jersey cattle-yaks were divided into three groups according to their diets: low (LE), medium (ME), and high (HE) energy levels.
- * Results showed that higher energy diets (ME & HE) led to better weight gain, feed efficiency, and improved meat quality without affecting certain meat traits like pH and shear force.

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.

Background: This study aimed to explore the potential associations between trans fatty acid (TFA) and α-klotho levels.
Methods: Datasets from the 2009-2010 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) were analysed for this study. Multivariable linear regression and restricted cubic spline (RCS) analyses were performed to examine the relationships between plasma TFA and serum α-klotho levels.

Frequently consuming processed and ready-to-eat (RTE) foods is regarded as unhealthy, but evidence on the relationships with circulating metabolic parameters is lacking. Japanese residents of a metropolitan area, 20 to 50 years of age, were studied in terms of anthropometric and biochemical parameters, including circulating trans fat and serum phospholipid fatty acid levels. Processed foods, except drinks and dairy items, were categorized according to requirements for additional ingredients and cooking before eating.

This work aims to study the effects of oral gavage (0.2 mg/g body weight) of elaidic acid (C18:1-9 , EA) and linoelaidic acid (C18:2-9 ,12 , LEA) on lipid metabolism, inflammation and gut homeostasis of mice. Results showed that both EA and LEA gavage significantly increased LDL-c, TC and oxidative stress levels in the liver and serum and may stimulate liver inflammation via NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathway.
