conjugated linoleic acid/necrosis

Type-2 diabetes is characterized by obesity-related insulin resistance. Insulin resistance and accompanying hyperinsulinemia have been reported to play an important role in pathogenesis of the metabolic syndrome. Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a mixture of positional and geometric isomers of

The aim of this study was to examine whether tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha expression in the phagocytic activity of RAW macrophages by trans10-cis12 (10t-12c) conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is associated with peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) activation. 10t-12c CLA

The effect of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) on macrophage functions were studied in vitro, in vivo, and ex vivo. In RAW macrophage cell line, CLA (mixed isomers) was shown to inhibit lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) production. Two CLA isomers, c9,t11 and

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) can stimulate or inhibit immune cell function, and among CLA isomers, trans-10, cis-12 (t10c12)-CLA was shown to participate in the modulation of pro- or anti-inflammatory cytokine secretion. The objective of this study was to examine the effect of t10c12-CLA on tumor

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is a naturally occurring group of dienoic derivaties of linoleic acid found mainly in beef and dairy products. CLA has been reported to reduce body fat, as well as to possess anticarcinogenic, antiatherogenic and procatabolic activities in animals. The objective of

Twenty-four weanling barrows were fed corn-soybean diets supplemented with 2% conjugated linolenic acid (CLA) or soybean oil. On day 14 and 21, pigs were injected intraperitoneally with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or sterile saline. Plasma samples were collected 2h after injection. Peripheral blood

We evaluated the effect of cis-9, trans-11 (9c,11t) and trans-10, cis-12 (10t,12c) conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) on the immune system in C57BL/6J mice. Mice were fed experimental diets containing 0% CLA (controls), 1% 9c,11t-CLA, 1% 10t,12c-CLA or a 1:1 mixture (0.5% + 0.5%) of these two CLA

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) refers to geometric and positional isomers of linoleic acid. Animal studies have shown that CLA modulates the immune system and suggest that it may have a therapeutic role in inflammatory disorders. This double-blind placebo-controlled intervention trial investigated

Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF) is an immunoregulatory cytokine that plays a major role in tumor-induced anorexia and weight loss. Conjugated linoleic acids (CLA) are naturally occurring isomers of linoleic acid that, when added to the diet, improve food intake and body weight in mice injected

The effects of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) in animals are reviewed. In most of the CLA preparations that have been investigated to date for biological activity, two CLA isomers are present in about equal concentrations: cis-9,trans-11 CLA, and trans-10,cis-12 CLA. The occurrence of these isomers

In vitro studies of the use of immune cells and animal models demonstrate that conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a lipid, modulates immune function. In addition, recent publications demonstrate that 2 active CLA isomers (ie, cis-9,trans-11 CLA and trans-10,cis-12 CLA) modulate immune function in

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which is found in dairy products, reduces synthesis of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFa), a pro-inflammatory cytokine that plays a major role in tumor-induced skeletal muscle wasting (SMW). The B16 melanoma expresses TNFa mRNA, and induced SMW with no change in

Perilipin1, a coat protein of lipid droplet, plays a key role in adipocyte lipolysis and fat formation of adipose tissues. However, it is not clear how the expression of perilipin1 is affected in the decreased white adipose tissues (WAT) of mice treated with dietary supplement of conjugated linoleic

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) modulates innate immunity through alteration of cytokine production by immune cells. The objective of this study was to examine the effect of exogenous conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and PPAR-γ agonist, rosiglitazone, on LPS-induced tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) production

Pancreatic preservation is an important part of diabetes management that may occur with improved peripheral insulin sensitivity and attenuated low-grade adipose tissue inflammation. The objective of the current study was to determine the response of obese, insulin-resistant fa/fa Zucker rats vs lean
