Abstract
Conjugated dienoic derivatives of linoleic acid (referred to by the acronym CLA) constitute a newly recognized class of anticarcinogenic fatty acids. Of the eight major CIA isomere, the cis-9, trans-11 isomer alone is incorporated into phospholipid and may to be the most biologically relevant isomer. CLA exhibits potent antioxidant activity; evidence is presented indicating that CLA acts both as an in vitro and in vivo antioxidant. The formation of CLA in foods, and its possible biological significance in cell membranes, is discussed.Keywords
