The beneficial effects exerted by low amounts of conjugated linoleic acids (CLA) suggest that CLA are maximally conserved and raise the question about their mitochondrial oxidizability. Cis-9,trans-11-C(18:2) (CLA1) and trans-10,cis-12-C(18:2) (CLA2) were compared to cis-9,cis-12-C(18:2) (linoleic acid; LA) and cis-9-C(16:1) (palmitoleic acid; PA), as substrates for total fatty acid (FA) oxidation and for the enzymatic steps required for the entry of FA into rat liver mitochondria. Oxygen consumption rate was lowest when CLA1 was used as a substrate with that on CLA2 being intermediate between it and the respiration on LA and PA. The order of the radiolabeled FA oxidation rate was PA >> LA > CLA2 > CLA1. Transesterification to acylcarnitines of the octadecadienoic acids were similar, while uptake across inner membranes of CLA1 and, to a lesser extent, of CLA2 was greater than that of LA or PA. Prior oxidation of CLA1 or CLA2 made re-isolated mitochondria much less capable of oxidising PA or LA under carnitine-dependent conditions, but without altering the carnitine-independent oxidation of octanoic acid. Therefore, the CLA studied appeared to be both poorly oxidizable and capable of interfering with the oxidation of usual FA at a step close to the beginning of the beta-oxidative cycle.

Consuming food containing ingredients with a documented impact on lipid metabolism can help fight overweight and obesity. The simplest way to reduce the level of fatty acids is to block their synthesis or increase the rate of their degradation. This study aimed to determine the effect of resveratrol, , conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), , CLA, and various variants of their combinations on de novo fatty acid biosynthesis in 3T3-L1 adipocytes.

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is known for antiobesity. However, the role of CLA in regulating high-fat diet (HFD)-impaired pubertal mammary gland development remains undefined. Here, pubertal female mice and HC11 cells were treated with HFD or palmitic acid (PA), supplemented with or without CLA, respectively.

Objective: To investigate the causal relationship between 233 newly reported metabolites and coronary atherosclerosis through Mendelian randomization analysis.
Methods: Five different methods were used to perform Mendelian randomization analysis on the 233 metabolites and coronary atherosclerosis, with inverse variance weighting as the primary result, supplemented by other methods.
Results: The analysis identified that certain metabolites increase the susceptibility risk of coronary atherosclerosis, including: Total fatty acids (OR = 1.

Detailed DFT studies of H and C NMR chemical shifts of hydroxy secondary oxidation products of various geometric isomers of conjugated linolenic acids methyl esters are presented. Several low energy conformers were identified for model compounds of the central dienenol OH moiety, which were found to be practically independent on the various functionals and basis sets used. This greatly facilitated the minimization process of the geometric isomers of conjugated linolenic acids methyl esters.

Hempseed oil (HSO) is extremely rich in unsaturated fatty acids, especially linoleic (18:2 n-6) and α-linolenic (18:3 n-3) acids, which determine its high sensitivity to oxidative and photo-oxidative degradations that can lead to rancidity despite the presence of antioxidant compounds. The aim of this work was to evaluate which material/temperature/light solutions better preserve HSO quality during its shelf life and to test NIR as a rapid, non-destructive technique for monitoring oxidation phenomena. Futura 75 hemp seeds were cold-pressed; the oil was packed into 20 mL vials of four different materials (polypropylene, clear glass, amber glass, and amber glass coated with aluminum foil) and stored for 270 days at 25 °C under diffused light and at 10 °C in dark conditions.
