Application of homogenous and heterogeneous catalysts and photoisomerization methods increased the conversion of linoleic acid to CLA. In 2008, CLA got generally recognized as safe (GRAS) status by FDA, which increased the consumption of CLA and used as a nutraceutical in dietary supplements/foods. With the increasing market demand, the research should focus in developing innovative synthesis methods with enhanced isomers and sources rich in CLA. productivity of specific CLA isomers.

Conjugated fatty acids are the Lipids may be bounded as “fatty acids, their derivatives, and positional and geometric isomers of unsaturated fatty acids, substances connected biosynthetically or functionally to these containing one or more non-methylene contributed double compounds” [1]. It mainly consists of triacylglycerol (TAG’s), bonds in either cist or trans conformation (Figure 1). which are molecules composed of three fatty acids and glycerol (phosphatidylcholine and cholesterol also included) [2] and generally found in the tissues of microorganisms, plants, animals and insects [3-6]. TAG’s and fatty acids accelerated the absorption of other fat-soluble components such as vitamins. As well with proteins, carbohydrates, and alcohol, fats are a major source of energy for the body and also serve many essential functions (e.g. Structural components of cell membrane, regulators of enzyme activities (e.g. protein myristoylation), precursors for bioactive molecules, and regulation of gene expression).

  • Kimberly Tippetts-Conjugated Linoleic Acid
    Frequency of Use, Information and Perceptions of Conjugated Linoleic Acid By: Kimberly Tippetts Abstract Extensive research has been conducted in both animal and human models, which demonstrate the efficacy of Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) as both a weight loss and a lean body mass dietary supplement. Conversely, very little research has been conducted concerning the practical human application of CLA, (i.e. the frequency of supplementation, information individuals possess, perceptions about, and general experiences people have had with CLA). The purpose of this study was to gather a limited amount of applicable information to begin to fill the noticeable information void. A sixteen statement confidential online survey was provided for a number of participants to share their opinions and understanding of CLA. The survey results showed that while only a small population of survey participants had general information about CLA, a larger percentage of participants indicated that they would both use and/ or recommend the use CLA for lean body mass gain more than they would for weight loss. Based on this finding, it would be beneficial to conduct further product research amongst a narrower sample population such as bodybuilders. 1 Methods An invitation to participate in a study regarding the use of CLA was made to over 400 individuals. Sample size was derived from eight states, recruited by means of verbal request, promotional handout, text message, email invitation or Facebook request (see Appendix A). Of the 400+ people notified of the survey, over half were associated with the fitness industry. Of those notified, 131 healthy adults between the ages of 18-65 volunteered to take part.

The CFAs of linoleic acid (CLAs) are found naturally in foods derived from ruminant animals, meat, or dairy products. The CFAs of α-linolenic acid (CLNAs) are found exclusively in various types of seed oils of plants. There are many investigations to assess the effects to health from CFAs consumption, which have been associated with physiological processes that are involved with non transmissible chronic diseases such as cancer, atherosclerosis, inflammation, and obesity. Conclusive studies about the CFAs effects in the body are still scarce and further research about their participation in physiological processes are necessary.

  • A Review of Fatty Acid Profiles and Antioxidant Content in Grass-Fed And
    Daley et al. Nutrition Journal 2010, 9:10 http://www.nutritionj.com/content/9/1/10 REVIEW Open Access A review of fatty acid profiles and antioxidant content in grass-fed and grain-fed beef Cynthia A Daley1*, Amber Abbott1, Patrick S Doyle1, Glenn A Nader2, Stephanie Larson2 Abstract Growing consumer interest in grass-fed beef products has raised a number of questions with regard to the per- ceived differences in nutritional quality between grass-fed and grain-fed cattle. Research spanning three decades suggests that grass-based diets can significantly improve the fatty acid (FA) composition and antioxidant content of beef, albeit with variable impacts on overall palatability. Grass-based diets have been shown to enhance total conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) (C18:2) isomers, trans vaccenic acid (TVA) (C18:1 t11), a precursor to CLA, and omega-3 (n-3) FAs on a g/g fat basis. While the overall concentration of total SFAs is not different between feed- ing regimens, grass-finished beef tends toward a higher proportion of cholesterol neutral stearic FA (C18:0), and less cholesterol-elevating SFAs such as myristic (C14:0) and palmitic (C16:0) FAs. Several studies suggest that grass- based diets elevate precursors for Vitamin A and E, as well as cancer fighting antioxidants such as glutathione (GT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity as compared to grain-fed contemporaries. Fat conscious consumers will also prefer the overall lower fat content of a grass-fed beef product. However, consumers should be aware that the differences in FA content will also give grass-fed beef a distinct grass flavor and unique cooking qualities that should be considered when making the transition from grain-fed beef.

ABSTRACT - This study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary fats (tallow [TO] or linseed oil [LO]) or conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), singly or in combination, on laying performance, yolk lipids, and fatty acid composition of egg yolks. Three hundred 50-week-old laying hens were given one of five diets containing 2% TO; 1% TO + 1% CLA (TO/CLA); 2% LO; 1% LO + 1% CLA (LO/CLA); and 2% CLA (CLA). Laying performance, egg lipids, and serum parameters were not altered by dietary treatments. Alpha-linolenic acid or long-chain ω-3 fatty acids including eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids were elevated in eggs of laying hens fed diets containing LO (i.e., LO or LO/CLA groups) compared with those of hens fed TO-added diets. Dietary CLA, alone or when mixed with different fat sources (i.e., TO or LO), increased the amounts of CLA in egg yolks, being the highest in the CLA-treated group. The supplementation of an equal portion of CLA and LO into the diet of laying hens (i.e., LO/CLA group) increase both CLA and ω-3 fatty acid contents in the chicken eggs.

  • The Role of Conjugated Linoleic Acid in Breast Cancer Growth and Development
    30 The Open Nutraceuticals Journal, 2010, 3, 30-46 Open Access The Role of Conjugated Linoleic Acid in Breast Cancer Growth and Development Danielle L. Amarù, Patricia D. Biondo and Catherine J. Field* Alberta Institute for Human Nutrition, Department of Agricultural, Food and Nutritional Science, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, T6G 2P5 Abstract: Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) consists of a group of naturally occurring and synthetic positional and geomet- ric (cis-trans) stereoisomers of the polyunsaturated fatty acid linoleic acid. The cis-9,trans-11 (c9,t11) CLA isomer (the most prevalent form found in ruminant-derived foods) and the trans-10,cis-12 (t10,c12) CLA isomer (present in commer- cial preparations) are the two most widely studied CLA isomers in breast cancer. Studies using both animal and cell cul- ture models indicate that these CLA isomers, when added to the diet or included in the cell culture medium, inhibit mam- mary tumour initiation, promotion and progression in rodents, and alter tumour cell viability in vitro. The mechanism of CLA’s anticancer effect is not well understood, but may involve interference with the cell cycle, induction of apoptosis, modulation of gene expression via the activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors, lipid peroxidation, modu- lation of the tumour microenvironment, changes to the structure and/or function of the cell membrane, and interference with growth factor receptor signaling. A greater understanding of the mechanism of action of CLA will support the devel- opment of clinical trials to evaluate the potential effectiveness of CLA in the treatment of breast cancer.

Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are essential nutrients required for optimal growth and development of infants, especially the central nervous system, brain and retina. Aim: To determine the conjugated linolenic acid (CLA) and vaccenic acid (VA) content of human breast milk from mothers consuming different diets, and to compare the results with CLA and VA levels in infant formulas (IF) and follow-up formulas (FF). Material and methods: Fifty healthy mothers were classified according to their diet status into one of two groups: diet low in dairy products and conventional diet without limiting the intake of dairy products. Dietary intake of dairy fat was determined based on 3-day food diaries. Fatty acid (FA) composition in samples were analyzed by High Resolution Gas Chromatography (HR-GC). Results: In the group of 20 mothers whose diets were deficient in dairy products, the average CLA content of breast milk fat was determined to be 0.27% of total FA, the VA 0.36%.

They are present in food produced by ruminant animals and they are accumulated in seeds of certain plants. These naturally occurring substances have demonstrated to have anti-carcinogenic activity. Their po- tential effect to inhibit cancer has been shown in vivo and in vitro studies. In this review, we present the multiple effects of CLA isomers on cancer development such as anti-tumor efficiency, anti- mutagenic and anti-oxidant activity. Although the majority of the studies in vivo and in vitro summarized in this review have demonstrated beneficial effects of CLA on the proliferation and apoptosis of tumor cells, further experimental work is needed to estimate the true value of CLA as a real anti-cancer agent.

  • Derived Omega-5 Nanoemulsion Improves Hepatic Steatosis
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Punica granatum L.‑derived omega‑5 nanoemulsion improves hepatic steatosis in mice fed a high fat diet by increasing fatty acid utilization in hepatocytes K. Zamora‑López1,4, L. G. Noriega2,4, A. Estanes‑Hernández1, I. Escalona‑Nández1, S. Tobón‑Cornejo2, A. R. Tovar2, V. Barbero‑Becerra3 & C. Pérez‑Monter1* Pomegranate seed oil (PSO) is mainly composed of punicic acid (PA), a polyunsaturated fatty acid also known as omega‑5 (ω‑5), a potent antioxidant associated with a variety of metabolic and cellular benefcial efects. However, the potential benefts of a nanoemulsifed version of ω‑5 (PSOn) have not been evaluated in a pathological liver condition. Here, we examined whether PSOn had benefcial efects on C57BL/6N mice fed a high‑fat diet (HFD), specifcally on hepatic steatosis. We observed that PSOn supplementation decreased body weight and body fat mass in control mice, whereas glucose intolerance, insulin resistance, energy expenditure, and hepatic steatosis were improved in both control mice and in mice fed a HFD. Interestingly, PSOn increased fatty acid oxidation in primary hepatocytes and antioxidant gene expression. Altogether, our data indicate that PSOn efectively reduces some of the HFD‑derived metabolic syndrome indicators by means of an increase in fatty acid oxidation within hepatocytes. Pomegranate fruit (Punica granatum L.) is originally from the Middle East and is grown in countries such as Argentina, Israel, and the USA, among others1. Pomegranates can be transformed into edible products such as juice, nectars, jellies, and seed oil, all of which might have therapeutic efects, such as anti-proliferative properties against skin, prostate or breast cancer cells 2–5, and the improvement in insulin resistance 6.
