Elaidic acid is the major trans fat found in hydrogenated vegetable oils and occurs in small amounts in caprine and bovine milk (very roughly 0. In Chemistry, the standard state of a material is its state at 1 bar (100 Kilopascals exactly Trans fat is the common name for a type of Unsaturated fat with trans - isomer Fatty acid (s Hydrogenation is the Chemical reaction that results in addition of Hydrogen (H2 1 % of the fatty acids)[1]. It is the trans isomer of oleic acid. Trans-2-butenesvg|right|thumb|Trans-2-butene]] In Chemistry, cis-trans isomerism or geometric isomerism or configuration isomerism is a form of Oleic acid is a Monounsaturated omega-9 Fatty acid found in various animal and vegetable sources
Elaidic acid increases CETP activity, which in turn raises VLDL and lowers HDL cholesterol. Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP (also called plasma lipid transfer protein) is a plasma Protein that facilitates the transport of Cholesteryl High-density lipoproteins ( HDL) is one of the 5 major groups of Lipoproteins ( Chylomicrons, VLDL, IDL, LDL, HDL [2]
