Conjugated Linoleic Acid: An Anticarcinogenic Nutrient

  • Conference paper
Food Factors for Cancer Prevention

Summary

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) refers to a series of 9,11- and 10,12-conjugated dienoic isomers of linoleic acid. CLA is produced from linoleic acid by certain intestinal bacteria, and thus it is found in animal-based foods, principally foods derived from ruminant animals (e.g., dairy products and beef). CLA appears to regulate energy metabolism and the retention of body fat and protein. Through this mechanism CLA appears to induce a number of positive effects including reduced cancer risk, improved growth of young animals, and enhanced immune function.
