Conjugated Linoleic Acid: Chemical Structure, Sources and Biological Properties

摘要: Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is a group of geometrical and positional isomers (C18:2, cis-9, cis-12). In contrast to acid, double bonds in CLA are usually located at positions 9 11 or 10 12 each bond can be either the cis trans configuration. Meat dairy products from ruminant animals (such as milk, butter, yogurt cheese) principal natural sources human diet. Egg meat poultry contain less than (0.6 0.9 mg/g fat vs. 2.9 5.6 fat, respectively). turkeys contains much higher relative chickens. Dietary has been shown have potent anticarcinogenic antiatherogenic effects animal models. was also found immune modulating activity characterized by increased blastogenesis macrophage killing ability. addition these biological properties, reported reduce body content increase lean mass pigs rodents. Because properties CLA, recently there lot interest enriching egg, for consumption.
