Research Abstract |
According to the national health and nutrition examination survey 2010, fat energy ratio have increased in the young generation in twenties, Although lipid-related health problem have been repeatedly reported from epidemiological or clinical point of view, this research revealed pro-inflammatory action of trans fatty acid and counter-action of fish oils at the cellular level. Saturated fatty acids and arachidonic acid also had inflammatory actions. Thus, these cell-level findings provided good evidence for preventive medicine and public health nutrition.
