Altered use of different dietary fatty acids may contribute to several chronic diseases, including obesity, noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, and cardiovascular disease. However, few comparative data are available to support this link, so the goal of the present study was to

Clinical biochemistry, 43(12), 968-972 (2010-05-11)
Elaidic acid, the predominant trans-fatty acid in industrially hydrogenated oils, exists on high levels in Iranian hydrogenated oils and margarines. This study was undertaken to investigate the effect of elaidic acid and its cis-counterpart oleic acid on expression of ICAM-1

Antiviral research, 45(3), 157-167 (2000-04-20)
A fatty acid derivative of ganciclovir (GCV), elaidic acid ganciclovir (E-GCV), has been evaluated for its inhibitory activity against laboratory and clinical strains of herpes simplex type 1 (HSV-1) and type 2 (HSV-2), varicella-zoster virus (VZV) and human cytomegalovirus (HCMV)

An anomalously long transient is needed to achieve a steady pressurization of a fluid when forced to flow through micronarrowed channels under constant mechanical driving. This phenomenon, known as the "bottleneck effect" is here revisited from a different perspective, by
Suzanne E Dorfman et al.
Obesity (Silver Spring, Md.), 17(6), 1200-1207 (2009-07-09)
Dietary trans-fatty acids are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease and have been implicated in the incidence of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). It is established that high-fat saturated diets, relative to low-fat diets, induce adiposity and
