Fats

The glyceryl esters of a fatty acid, or of a mixture of fatty acids. They are generally odorless, colorless, and tasteless if pure, but they may be flavored according to origin. Fats are insoluble in water, soluble in most organic solvents. They occur in animal and vegetable tissue and are generally obtained by boiling or by extraction under pressure. They are important in the diet (DIETARY FATS) as a source of energy. (Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed)

Neoplasms (Cancer) 08/01/2014 - "This study investigates the use of demographic and clinical variables to create an easy scoring system for predicting adrenal tumor functionality (functional adrenal tumors, or FATs). " 01/01/2013 - "A diet completely free of fats cannot be easily administered to humans, but experimental studies in mice can be done to determine whether this extreme condition influences tumor development. " 05/01/1998 - "The purpose of this study was to determine whether the fats exert their effects by altering the expression of genes that affect cancer development. " 09/01/1993 - "However, the influence of animal fats is seen both in animal studies and epidemiological studies of breast and bowel cancer. " 01/01/1981 - "Some of the inconsistencies encountered in epidemiological and experimental studies on the role of various types of fats in the etiology of cardiovascular disorders and certain tumors (of the breast, endometrium, and colon, among others) may be related to the presence of adventitious contaminants in the fats. "
2.	Body Weight (Weight, Body) 07/01/2013 - "Indeed, data from analytical and experimental studies indicated a relation between increased consumption of some food categories such as fruits and vegetables, fiber and whole grains, fish, and moderate consumption of alcohol and reduced risk of major chronic degenerative diseases, whereas increased total caloric intake, body weight, meat, and fats are associated with greater risk. " 08/01/1999 - "Postprandial samples were taken on day 21, 3 h after lunch (n 18), and on the last day of the study 2, 4, 6 and 8 h after a fat load containing 1.2 g of one of the milk fats/kg body weight (n 8). " 04/01/1993 - "Although FO fats ate slightly less total energy than the other groups, there were no differences among groups in body weight at any time during the study. " 05/26/2023 - "Energy intake and energy % from fats positively correlated with body weight (BW), waist circumference (WC), WHR, and WHtR, and negatively with %EWL. " 11/01/2014 - "The control group showed 17% greater body weight and 20% more epididymal fats compared with the vaccinated group. "

Coronary Disease (Coronary Heart Disease) 09/15/2015 - "Potential of trans fats policies to reduce socioeconomic inequalities in mortality from coronary heart disease in England: cost effectiveness modelling study." 01/01/2009 - "Ecological studies, such as the Seven Countries' Study, showed a possible relationship between mortality in coronary heart disease and intake of saturated fats. " 03/01/1996 - "More controlled studies are needed to assess definitely the impact of different hydrogenated fats on risk of coronary heart disease." 01/01/1968 - "[Value of the study of resorption of labelled fats in coronary disease]." 01/01/2021 - "To reduce risk of coronary heart disease, replacement of saturated fats (SFAs) with polyunsaturated fats (PUFA) is recommended. "
4.	Inflammation (Inflammations) 01/01/2017 - "Studies have shown that polyunsaturated fats can reduce hypothalamic inflammation. " 04/15/2023 - "Consumption of a western diet with high fats alters redox status, induces inflammation, and impairs the physiological function of hepatocytes. " 01/10/2023 - "Dose-Related Regulatory Effect of Raspberry Polyphenolic Extract on Cecal Microbiota Activity, Lipid Metabolism and Inflammation in Rats Fed a Diet Rich in Saturated Fats." 01/01/2021 - "This is important, given that different fats have distinct effects on inflammation. " 08/13/2020 - "Specific aspects of diet can lead to acute changes in mood as well as stimulate inflammation, which has led to efforts to assess polyunsaturated fats (PUFA) as a treatment for depression. "
5.	Atherosclerosis 03/01/2007 - "Epidemiologic studies and clinical trials have shown that diet and, in particular, the consumption of fats, influence the body's metabolism and can affect the development of atherosclerosis and resulting cardiovascular repercussions. " 12/01/1990 - "Animal studies show a decreased incidence of atherosclerosis in animals fed polyunsaturated fats compared with saturated fats. " 01/01/1958 - "[Studies on optically demonstrable blood fats with a simplified micromethod in connection with the problem of atherosclerosis]." 12/01/2021 - "High intake of saturated fats was not independently associated with subclinical atherosclerosis. " 12/01/2021 - "The relationship between intake of saturated fats and subclinical atherosclerosis, as well as the possible influence of genetic variants, is poorly understood and investigated. "
