Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and Body fat accumulation

Conjugated linoleic acids (CLA) are a family of at least 28 isomers of linoleic acid found abundantly in the meat and dairy products.
In 2 experiments using relatively old mice (older than 6 mo): experiment 1, supplementation of CLA during dietary restriction and experiment 2, supplementation during ad libitum feeding followed by restriction. In both experiments, CLA exerted modulation of body fat independent of reduced food intake. Based on these results, researchers concluded that CLA may be more effective at protecting against fat mass regain following weight loss than as a weight loss treatment(1)
