Data from a number of studies and trials have shown that different conjugated linoleic acids (CLA’s) may produce beneficial effects on cancer, atherosclerosis, hypertension, diabetes and changes in body composition. Despite the increasing knowledge about CLA’s implications on health, the mechanism of action of these fatty acids is not completely understood. Moreover, human studies indicate that some of these beneficial effects are considerably less evident than anticipated from mice studies…

The aim of this review was to gather up-to-date available data about the effects of CLA on human lipid profile and found that studies with a duration of two weeks, carried out using a mix of equal amounts of the two main CLA isomers, seem to offer the most beneficial results.

This meta-analysis showed that CLA supplementation may increase inflammatory markers (CRP and TNF-α) and there are concerns about using CLA supplementation as an anti-obesity agent among the obese population for at least a short duration.

In conclusion, short-term dietary supplementation of 1.5% VA did not result in any detrimental metabolic effects in JCR:LA-cp rats, and dietary VA had substantial hypo-triglyceridemic effects, suggesting a new bioactivity of this fatty acid that is typically found in ruminant-derived food products.

Dietary supplementation with CLA seems to produce a number of vascular benefits which are noted to be independent of its metabolic effects and mediated possibly by attenuating inflammation through changes in circulatory sRAGE.
