Important biological effects of CLA in human subjects.

Treatment

Effect

Ref


CLA with creatine

CLA and creatine as adjuncts increased mictochondrial function by reducing sarcopenia and decreased oxidative stress in older adults

[116]

CLA with ω-3 fatty acids

prevents increased abdominal fat and increases fat-free mass and adiponectin.

[28]

9-CLA

No adverse effect on coronary vascular disease

[126]

9-CLA

Modest anti-inflammatroy effect in allegic subjects

[32]

CLA with γ-oryzanol

Reduced blood pressure and body fat.

[127]

9-and 10-CLA

Enhanced fat oxidation and energy expenditure during sleep

[50]

10-CLA

Anti-lipogenic effect in lactating women's mammary tissue

[128]

CLA

Reduce weight gain induced by psychotropic medication

[129]

CLA

Favourable effect on serum insulin, but no effect on body composition, energy expenditure of apetite.

[101]

CLA

Increased resting metabolic rate, PPAR-γ and hormone-sensitive lipase

[68]

CLA

No effect on glucose metabolism or insulin sensitivity on obese population.

[41]

Trans fatty acids (t-11/t-12, 18:1)

Gender-based gene expression

[59]

CLA

Inhibition on leptin, adiponection - contribute to insulin resistance

[26]

CLA and Calcium

Reduces pregnancy-induced hypertension and decreases the intracellular concentration of ionised free calcium in peripheral blood lymphocytes.

[130]

CLA

Do not beneficially change risk factors for cardiovascular disease or diabetes

[94]

CLA and Vaccenic acid

No effect on blood pressure or arterial elasticity in healthy young men.

[131]

CLA

Affect lipid and carbohydrate metabolism and reduced body weight

[27]

CLA and other PUFA

Possible role in preventing renal carcinoma

[132]

CLA

Reduce colorectal carcinoma

[133]

CLA

Enhanced immunological function

[102,113]

CLA

Enhanced C-reactive protein

[43]

CLA

Suppresses rheumatoid arthritis

[109]

CLA

Lipid peroxidation

[124]

CLA

Not good to treat metabolic syndrome

[134]

CLA

Not associated with breast cancer

[76]

10-CLA

Induces hyperproinsulinaemia, which predicts diabetes and cardiovascular disease

[124]

CLA

Ptotective effect on the risk of metastasis in breast cancer

[75]

10-CLA

Increases oxidative stress and inflammatroy biomarkers in obese men

[135]

CLA

Positive impact on cardioprotective effect.

[89]

CLA

Modulation of risk factor associated with atherosclerosis

[125]
