  2. Trans fat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans_fat

    High-fat dairy products such as butter contain about 4%. Margarines not reformulated to reduce trans fats may contain up to 15% trans fat by weight, [57] but some reformulated ones are less than 1% trans fat. Shortenings for deep-frying in restaurants can be used for longer than most conventional oils before becoming rancid.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturated_fat

    A saturated fat is a type of fat in which the fatty acid chains have all single bonds between the carbon atoms. A fat known as a glyceride is made of two kinds of smaller molecules: a short glycerol backbone and fatty acids that each contain a long linear or branched chain of carbon (C) atoms.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Membrane_fluidity

    At low temperatures, the lipids are laterally ordered and organized in the membrane, and the lipid chains are mostly in the all-trans configuration and pack well together. The melting temperature T m {\displaystyle T_{m}} of a membrane is defined as the temperature across which the membrane transitions from a crystal-like to a fluid-like ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaccenic_acid

    Vaccenic acid is a naturally occurring trans fatty acid and an omega-7 fatty acid. It is the predominant kind of trans-fatty acid found in human milk, in the fat of ruminants, and in dairy products such as milk, butter, and yogurt. [1] [2] Trans fat in human milk may depend on trans fat content in food.

  8. Fatty acid metabolism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatty_acid_metabolism

    A significant proportion of the fatty acids in the body are obtained from the diet, in the form of triglycerides of either animal or plant origin. The fatty acids in the fats obtained from land animals tend to be saturated, whereas the fatty acids in the triglycerides of fish and plants are often polyunsaturated and therefore present as oils.

    A few studies have suggested that total dietary fat intake is linked to an increased risk of obesity. [98] [99] and diabetes; [100] Others, including the Women's Health Initiative Dietary Modification Trial, an eight-year study of 49,000 women, the Nurses' Health Study, and the Health Professionals Follow-up Study, revealed no such links.
