The Change in Conjugated Linoleic Acid Concentration in Blood of Japanese Fed a Conjugated Linoleic Acid Diet

The change in conjugated linoleic acid concentration in blood of Japanese fed a conjugated linoleic acid diet.

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is a collective term used for fatty acids with a conjugated double bond that are geometrical and positional isomers of linoleic acid. Anti-obesity and anti-cancer properties, an immunopotentiation effect, and promotion of bone formation by CLA have been shown in cell culture and animal studies. A mixture of 9c11t- and 10t12c-CLA is now used as a health food supple...

Conjugated Linoleic Acid Targets

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...

Conjugated linoleic acid: a review.

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) refers to a group of positional and geometric isomers of the omega-6 essential fatty acid linoleic acid (cis-9, cis-12, octadecadienoic acid). In humans evidence is currently ambiguous as to whether CLA supplementation has a significant effect on body composition. Despite favorable changes in lipid levels in animal models, a beneficial effect in humans has not yet...

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...
