Detailed explanation-1: -The cis-to-trans modification of the fatty acids studied here apparently is a new way of adapting the membrane fluidity to the presence of phenols, thereby compensating for the elevation of membrane permeability induced by these toxic substances.
Detailed explanation-2: -Trans Fat. Unsaturated fats can be either cis fats or trans fats. While cis fats are beneficial and can promote good cholesterol, trans fats are considered harmful to cardiovascular health, especially those trans fats which come from unnatural sources (e.g., hydrogenated oils in processed foods).
Detailed explanation-3: -Trans fatty acids are unsaturated fatty acids; however, they contain at least one double bond in the “trans” configuration, the thing that makes them more similar to saturated than unsaturated fat. Trans fatty acids are solid at room temperature and occur, in small amounts, naturally in some food.
