Effect of a 0.6% energy trans fatty acid intake on serum cholesterol concentrations in healthy young Japanese subjects

Biosci Biotechnol Biochem. 2011;75(11):2243-5. doi: 10.1271/bbb.110420. Epub 2011 Nov 7.

Abstract

A randomized crossover study in healthy young Japanese showed no significant effects of a 0.6% energy trans fatty acid (TFA) intake on the serum cholesterol concentrations and parameters of glucose metabolism. The results indicate that TFAs at this dietary level may have no adverse metabolic effects on healthy young Japanese.
