Resting energy expenditure (Resting-EE), EE with treadmill exercise, and post-prandial thermogenesis were continuously monitored by indirect calorimetry during a 24 h recording session in control (CT) and CLA-treated (CLA) (1% CLA in the food, by weight) C57Bl/6 male mice. After 15 days of CLA treatment, the fat content of CLA mice had fallen to 20% of that in CT mice. CLA mice were able to face the energy challenge of exercise but used less lipid than CT mice. Resting-EE values fell during the post-exercise period. The thermogenic response to a calibrated test meal given 5 h after the run abolished the differences in EE and substrate oxidation between CT and CLA mice. However, 2.5 h after ingestion of the test meal onward, CT mice gradually increased their lipid oxidation to sustain resting-EE levels. In contrast, CLA mice did not increase their lipid oxidation and their resting-EE levels fell significantly until they entered into torpor. Blood leptin was low but similar in CT and CLA-treated mice suggesting that leptin is not critical to induce torpor. We suggest that the durable inhibition of lipid oxidation in fasting CLA mice was an adaptive behaviour devoted at sparing the residual adipose deposits.

Objective: We aimed to evaluate microbiome and microbiota-derived C18 dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), such as conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), and to investigate their differences that correlate with arthritis severity in collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) mice.
Methods: On day 84 after induction, during the chronic phase of arthritis, cecal samples were analyzed using 16S rRNA sequencing, and plasma and cecal digesta were evaluated using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Differences in microbial composition between 10 control (Ctrl) and 29 CIA mice or between the mild and severe subgroups based on arthritis scores were identified.

The claustrum complex is viewed as fundamental for higher-order cognition; however, the circuit organization and function of its neuroanatomical subregions are not well understood. We demonstrated that some of the key roles of the CLA complex can be attributed to the connectivity and function of a small group of neurons in its ventral subregion, the endopiriform (EN). We identified a subpopulation of EN neurons by their projection to the ventral CA1 (EN.

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.

Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) arises from dysregulated wound healing, leading to excessive extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition and impaired lung function. Macrophages exhibit high plasticity, polarizing to pro-inflammatory M1 during early inflammation and anti-inflammatory, fibrosis-inducing M2 during later stages of PF. Additionally, neutrophils and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) release mediated by peptidyl arginine deiminase (PAD-4), also play a key role in PF progression.

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.
