Health function: Weight Management
CLA is thought to be an effective modulator of metabolism, reducing body fat and
increasing muscle mass. Conjugated linoleic acid is found mainly in meat and dairy foods;
however it can also be found in certain vegetable oils. Research in several animal models
has demonstrated that CLA reduces body fat accumulation. Some studies have shown
that the reduction in body fat occurs regardless of whether the diet is high or low in fat.
It appears that increased energy expenditure is responsible for the decreased fat
accumulation. Energy expenditure persistently increased almost 8% through the trial
period. This chronic increase in metabolic rate is thought to be responsible for the
reduction in body fat stores. CLA’s antiobesity effects have also been suggested to
involve an inhibition and/or apoptosis of (pre)adipocytes.
