RESULTS Increased TFA intake did not result in significant changes in glucose or insulin concentrations .
Our analysis also showed the absence of publication bias and any dose-response relations between the ES and TFA intake .
Increased TFA intake does not result in changes in glucose , insulin , or triglyceride concentrations but leads to an increase in total and LDL-cholesterol and a decrease in HDL-cholesterol concentrations .
There is no evidence to support a potential benefit of the reduction of dietary TFA intake on glucose homeostasis
BACKGROUND Although evidence from cohort studies has suggested that trans fatty acid ( TFA ) consumption may be associated with insulin resistance and diabetes , r and omized placebo-controlled trials ( RCTs ) have yielded conflicting results .
OBJECTIVE In a meta- analysis , we combined all available RCTs that examined the role of  TFA intake  on  glucose homeostasis .
Dietary fatty acids affect plasma markers of inflammation in healthy men fed controlled diets: a randomized crossover study.
BACKGROUND The effect of individual dietary fatty acids on emerging risk factors for cardiovascular disease that are associated with sub clinical inflammation is unknown . OBJECTIVE The goal was to evaluate the role of dietary fat and specific fatty acids , especially trans fatty acids , in altering concentrations of markers of inflammation in humans fed controlled diets . DESIGN In a r and omized crossover design , 50 men consumed controlled diets for 5 wk that provided 15 % of energy from protein , 39 % of energy from fat , and 46 % of energy from carbohydrate . Eight percent of fat or fatty acids was replaced across diets with the following : cholesterol , oleic acid , trans fatty acids ( TFAs ) , stearic acid ( STE ) , TFA+STE ( 4 % of energy each ) , and 12:0 - 16:0 saturated fatty acids ( LMP ) . RESULTS Fibrinogen concentrations were higher after consumption of the diet enriched in stearic acid than after consumption of the carbohydrate diet . C-reactive protein concentrations were higher after consumption of the TFA diet than after consumption of the carbohydrate diet , but were not significantly different after consumption of the TFA and TFA+STE diets than after consumption of the LMP diet .  Interleukin 6 concentrations were lower after consumption of the oleic acid diet than after consumption of the LMP , TFA , and STE diets .  E-selectin concentrations were higher after consumption of the TFA diet than after consumption of the carbohydrate diet . Consumption of the TFA but not the TFA+STE diet result ed in higher E-selectin concentrations than did the LMP diet . CONCLUSIONS These data provide evidence that dietary fatty acids can modulate markers of inflammation . Although stearic acid minimally affects LDL cholesterol , it does appear to increase fibrinogen concentrations
