Countdown to 2023: WHO report on global trans fat elimination 2021


Book Description

The annual progress report monitors global progress towards the 2023 target for global elimination of industrially produced trans-fatty acids (TFA), highlighting achievements from the past year; and discusses challenges and opportunities for future action. This is the third progress report that WHO is publishing following the first and second reports which were published in 2019 and 2020. In 2018, WHO called for the global elimination of industrially produced TFA by 2023. Since then, countries are responding to this call to action, building global momentum around TFA elimination.

Free Fatty Acid Receptors


Book Description

This book highlights the important role free fatty acids (FFA) play as potential drug targets. While FFA have long been considered byproducts of cell metabolism, they are now recognized as ligands that regulate cell and tissue function via G-protein-coupled receptors. At least three receptors have been identified for which FFA appear to be the endogenous ligands.
