Exploring the relationship between trans fatty acids and body fat distribution.
The importance of fat distribution is well established. Nevertheless, the mechanism by which fat is distributed throughout the trunk and limbs remains unclear. ⋯ Our study demonstrated that increased TFA concentration was associated with fat deposition predominantly in the trunk rather than in the limbs. Further research is needed to investigate the role of TFA in different body fat distributions.

The Th17/Treg imbalance in patients with primary hyperaldosteronism and resistant hypertension.
Inflammation plays a pivotal role in blood pressure regulation. Data on experimental models of hypertension and hypertensive patients reflect the imbalance between T regulatory (Treg) and Th17 effector cells (Th17). ⋯ Elevated 24 h SBP in PHA was associated with the increased numbers of CD4+IL‑17 and CD4+CD25+FOXP3+ T cells.
