Conjugated Linoleic Acid – an Update

چکیده
An article we wrote for the 1998 Illinois Dairy Report (Can Milk Fat be Beneficial to Your Health?) provided a brief description of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a minor component of milk fat. Briefly, CLA is a fatty acid that is synthesized in the rumen during biohydrogenation of linoleic acid (C18:2), the predominant fatty acid in vegetable oils. The pathway of biohydrogenation is C18:2 ? CLA ? trans 18:1 ? C18:0. Research conducted over the past ten years suggests there may be many health benefits from the consumption of CLA. Conjugated linoleic acid is an anti-carcinogen in many cell culture and animal models. It has positive effects on growth, the immune system, is anti-atherogenic and may improve glucose tolerance (help control diabetes).

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...

Update on Conjugated Linoleic Acids (cla)
The CLA story began with the discovery by Pariza and co-workers that fat extract from ruminants contained compounds that possessed anticarcinogenic activity. They subsequently identified these compounds as conjugated dienoic isomers of linoleic acid and coined the term conjugated linoleic acid or CLA (see review 1). Over the last decade the published research on the biology of CLA has increased...

Conjugated linoleic acids (CLA) are natural constituents of meat and dairy products from ruminants, originating from bacterial biohydrogenation in the rumen. CLA supplementation increases the health benefits of animal-derived foods. There are inconsistent reports of the effects of dietary CLA on chicken’s performance; however, the majority of previous reports cite anti-lipogenic effects of CLA....
