Long term intakes of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) may be associated
with bone strength in men, says a new study from Canada and Australia.
«This is the first study to demonstrate a relationship between long-term
CLA status (based on diet) and body composition assessments in adult
men,» wrote researchers.
«This study is also the first to assess the effects of CLA on PTH in
healthy men,» they added. «c9,t11 did not appear to significantly affect
intact or bioactive PTH during a 16-week supplementation.»
CLA is a fatty acid naturally present in ruminant meat and dairy
products. Due to changes in the Western diet, average intake of CLA has
fallen; if the fat is removed from a dairy product to make a low fat
version that will be acceptable to consumers, CLA is removed along with
it. The ingredient is most often found as a mixture of isomers: cis-9,
trans-11 and trans-10, cis-12
