Linoleic acid is the fatty acid under which the omega-6 fatty acids, a type of ?good fat [2]?, are categorized. Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), on the other hand, has the same molecular formula as linoleic acid but a different chemical structure. These essential nutrients aren?t produced by the human body and therefore must be ingested from plantand animal-based food products, such as vegetable...

Background: Feeding unsaturated fatty acids sources in dairy cows is considered as a strategy to improve animal health during postpartum period and milk fatty acid profile. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to investigate the effects of conjugated linoleic acid supplement and combination of sesame meal and oil on performance and milk fatty acid composition of dairy cows during transition period. MET...

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....

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is a naturally occurring group of dienoic derivatives of linoleic acid found in the fat of beef and other ruminants. CLA is reported to have effects on both tumor development and body fat in animal models. To further characterize the metabolic effects of CLA, male AKR/J mice were fed a high-fat (45 kcal%) or low-fat (15 kcal%) diet with or without CLA (2.46 mg/kca...

Several dietary supplements used for weight loss have been reported to cause hepatotoxicity. Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) is a dietary supplement that has been shown to cause reduction in body fat mass. Here, we present the first case of CLA induced acute hepatitis in the United States and only the third case in the worldwide literature along with a brief review of the literature.

Osteoporosis is a significant health concern for the elderly; conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) has been shown to improve overall bone mass when calcium is included as a co-supplement. However, potential effects of CLA and calcium on bone mass during a period of bone loss have not been reported. The purpose of this study was to determine how dietary calcium modulates the effects of conjugated lino...

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is one of the most physiological active fatty acids due to its positive effect on  prevention of diseases such as obesity, hyperlipidemia, atherosclerosis and cancer. The aim of this study was to optimize the production of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA)% in  alkali isomerization of safflower oil including  71% linoleic acid (LA)  using response surface methodology...

BACKGROUND The healthy properties of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) such as weight loss, reducing cardiovascular risk factors and inflammation have been reported. The trans-10, cis-12 CLA isomer is related to increasing insulin resistance, but the effects of cis-9, trans-11 isomer is not clear. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of CLA with and without Vitamin E on body weight...
