Do super fatty diets change your blood proteins?
A high intake of industrial or ruminant trans fatty acids does not affect the plasma proteome in healthy men

Scientists gave men three different high-fat diets for 3 weeks each and checked if their blood proteins changed. None of the diets made a noticeable difference in the proteins they measured.
No biological mechanisms were identified in this study. This may be an epidemiological, observational, or survey-based study that reports associations rather than proposing causal biological pathways.

Dietary intake of industrial trans fatty acids, even at low levels, is causally associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes.
Even when people ate a lot of artificial trans fats—way more than normal—their blood proteins didn’t change much, so these fats might not mess with the body’s protein signals in a big way.
Even when people ate a very high amount of trans fats—either artificial or from dairy—their blood proteins didn’t change enough to be picked up by the method used, meaning this way of studying proteins might not be good for spotting diet effects.
Even when people ate a lot of a specific trans fat found in dairy (CLA), their blood proteins stayed pretty much the same, so this type of fat probably doesn’t change how the body uses proteins in the blood.
