Photographic Print : Elaidic acid, computer model
Photo Prints from Science Photo Library
Elaidic acid, computer model
Elaidic acid. Computer model of a molecule of elaidic acid, a trans fatty acid. Atoms are represented as spheres and are colour-coded: carbon (green), hydrogen (white) and oxygen (red). This is the major trans fat found in hydrogenated vegetable oils. It is the trans isomer of oleic acid. Trans fatty acids raise levels of bad (LDL) cholesterol in the blood and their consumption may contribute to heart disease

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate computer model of Elaidic acid, a trans fatty acid. The molecular structure is beautifully illustrated with atoms represented as spheres, each color-coded to distinguish carbon (green), hydrogen (white), and oxygen (red). Elaidic acid is predominantly found in hydrogenated vegetable oils and serves as the major trans fat within them. It acts as the trans isomer of oleic acid. The consumption of trans fatty acids has been linked to adverse health effects, particularly in relation to heart disease. These compounds have been known to elevate levels of LDL cholesterol, commonly referred to as "bad" cholesterol, within the bloodstream. As such, this image sheds light on the biochemical aspects behind these concerns. Within this single frame lies a wealth of knowledge encompassing medicine, chemistry, biochemistry, and molecular biology. It offers an insight into how processed foods containing hydrogenated vegetable oils can impact our well-being at a molecular level. Science Photo Library presents us with an exquisite artwork that not only showcases the structural complexity but also emphasizes the importance of understanding these compounds' implications for human health. This image serves as a reminder that even seemingly small molecules can play significant roles in our bodies' intricate enzymatic processes and overall well-being.
