Question

Trans-fat ingestion has been associated with increased risk of atherosclerosis but underlying biochemical mechanisms remain unclear. Based on your knowledge, provide your hypothesis and reasoning.

Answer 1

Its true that trans-fat ingestion has been associated with increased risk of atherosclerosis but underlying biochemical mechanisms remain unclear. Many studies behid it a study i am going to share from a university of Germany; toatally based on hypthesis of their reserachers.

We know that trans fatty acids are stereoisomers with naturally occuring cis fatty acids;by the process of hardening. Trans fatty acids mainly due to the natually accuring food of animals or by some oils prepared manually. During this study of trans fatty acids reseachers found that trans fatty acids diract attack on cell menebrance some cases shown effect on plasma membrance as well. It will harm badly formed spore like structure on it ; hypothesis mainly based on this study that it is the main reason behid risk of atherosclerosis. But fatual base is not cleared without mechainsms and reseach. Yet this reseach is going under process.
