Despite the reported effects of trans fatty acids on blood lipoproteins, experiments with laboratory animals have not provided evidence that dietary trans fatty acids are associated with the development of experimental atherosclerosis, provided that the diet contains adequate levels of linoleic acid. Similarly, there is no evidence that trans fatty acids raise blood pressure or affect the blood coagulation system. However, there has been no thorough evaluation of the effect of trans fatty acids on the coagulation system, and this is an area worthy of investigation.
