Effects of conjugated linoleic acid on linoleic and linolenic acid metabolism in man

Effects of conjugated linoleic acid on linoleic and linolenic acid metabolism in man.

Evidence from animal studies suggests that conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) modulates plasma and tissue appearance of newly synthesized PUFA. The effects of a 1.2g (0.5 % energy) daily intake of the cis-9,trans-11 (c9,t11) isomer of CLA, trans-10,cis-12 (t10,c12) isomer of CLA or olive oil (placebo) on linoleic acid (LA) and linolenic acid (LNA) metabolism in healthy human volunteers was investig...

Effects of Extruded Flaxseed and Conjugated Linoleic Acid on Growth Performance in Holstein Milk-Fed Calves

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of extruded flaxseed and conjugated linoleic acid on growth performance, blood parameters in Holstein suckling calves. This experiment was carried out with 30 newborn Holstein calves with an average age of 1-8 days, and about 36±2 kg body weight, with 6 treatments and 5 replications in a completely randomized factorial design (3×2). The treat...

Conjugated Linoleic Acid

Conjugated linoleic acid, better known as CLA, is a fatty acid derived from the required nutrient, linoleic acid. The major structural difference between linoleic acid (an 18 carbon, polyunsaturated fatty acid) and CLA, is that linoleic acid has double bonds at carbons 9 and 12 in a cis configuration (methylene interrupted), while CLA has numerous isomers without methylene interrupted conjugate...

Metabolic effects of conjugated linoleic acid

Fatty acids containing trans unsaturated double bonds occur in nature, but the most common dietary source are “man-treated” fats. Because of the possible link between trans-fatty acids consumption and human disease-mainly cardiovascular disease and cancer, the health effects of trans-FA have been studied for over the last fifty years. Trans fatty acids are unsaturated fatty acids with at least ...
