Efficacy of dietary supplementation of fatty acid compound on performance and production in finishing pigs. Trop Anim Health Prod 2017; 49:1281-1288. [PMID: 28593444 DOI: 10.1007/s11250-017-1326-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2017] [Accepted: 05/30/2017] [Indexed: 10/19/2022]
Abstract
The present study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of dietary supplementation of 0.5 and 1% of fatty acid (FA) compound containing conjugated linoleic acid as active component on growth performance, apparent nutrient digestibility, serum lipid profile, meat quality, and fatty acid profiles in muscle and adipose tissue in finishing pigs. A total of 90 finishing pigs ([Yorkshire × Landrace] × Duroc) were used in 5-week trial. The growth performance and nutrient digestibility were unaffected with FA supplementation. The lean percentage was greater (P = 0.05) in pigs fed FA-supplemented diet whereas the 2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances value was reduced (P < 0.05) during the storage. The FA supplementation tended (P = 0.06) to reduce serum total cholesterol. However, it improved (P < 0.05) C14:0, C16:0, C18:0, saturated fatty acid, conjugated linoleic acid, and omega 3 levels and reduced (P < 0.05) C18:1, C18:2, unsaturated fatty acid, and omega 6 levels in muscle and subcutaneous adipose tissue. In conclusion, FA supplementation tended to reduce total serum cholesterol and improved lean percentage as well as meat value through enrichment of conjugated linoleic acid and omega 3 fatty acid in the muscle and adipose tissue.

Kim Y, Kim J, Whang KY, Park Y. Impact of Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) on Skeletal Muscle Metabolism. Lipids 2016; 51:159-78.

Abstract
Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) has garnered special attention as a food bioactive compound that prevents and attenuates obesity. Although most studies on the effects of CLA on obesity have focused on the reduction of body fat, a number of studies have demonstrated that CLA also increases lean body mass and enhances physical performances. It has been suggested that these effects may be due in part to physiological changes in the skeletal muscle, such as changes in the muscle fiber type transformation, alteration of the intracellular signaling pathways in muscle metabolism, or energy metabolism. However, the mode of action for CLA in muscle metabolism is not completely understood. The purpose of this review is to summarize the current knowledge of the effects of CLA on skeletal muscle metabolism. Given that CLA not only reduces body fat, but also improves lean mass, there is great potential for the use of CLA to improve muscle metabolism, which would have a significant health impact.

Contrasting apoptotic responses of conjugated linoleic acid in the liver of obese Zucker rats fed palm oil or ovine fat. Prostaglandins Leukot Essent Fatty Acids 2011; 85:89-96.

Abstract
We hypothesized that reducing weight properties of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) are due to adipocyte apoptosis and that CLA differentially modulates the apoptotic responses in hepatic lipotoxicity from rats fed saturated fat diets. Obese Zucker rats were fed atherogenic diets (2%w/w of cholesterol) formulated with high (15%w/w) saturated fat, from vegetable or animal origin, supplemented or not with 1% of a mixture (1:1) of cis-9, trans-11 and trans-10, cis-12 CLA isomers for 14 weeks. CLA induced no changes on retroperitoneal fat depot weight, which was in line with similar levels of apoptosis. Interestingly, CLA had a contrasting effect on cell death in the liver according to the dietary fat. CLA increased hepatocyte apoptosis, associated with upregulation of Fas protein in rats fed palm oil, compared to rats receiving palm oil alone. However, rats fed ovine fat alone displayed the highest levels of hepatic cell death, which were decreased in rats fed ovine fat plus CLA. This reducing effect of CLA was related to positively restoring endoplasmic reticulum (ER) ATF-6α, BiP and CHOP protein levels and increasing phosphorylated c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase (JNK) and c-Jun, thus suggesting an adaptive response of cell survival. These findings reinforce the role of CLA as regulator of apoptosis in the liver. Moreover, the dietary fat composition is a key factor in activation of apoptosis.

Abstract
Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is a collection of octadecadienoic fatty acids that have been shown to possess numerous health benefits. The CLA used in our study was produced by the photoisomerization of soybean oil and consists of about 20% CLA; this CLA consists of 75% trans-trans (a mixture of t8,t10; t9,t11; t10,t12) isomers. This method could be readily used to increase the CLA content of all soybean oil used as a food ingredient. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of trans-trans CLA-rich soy oil, fed as a dietary supplement, on body composition, dyslipidemia, hepatic steatosis, and markers of glucose control and liver function of obese fa/fa Zucker rats. The trans-trans CLA-rich soy oil lowered the serum cholesterol and low density lipoprotein-cholesterol levels by 41 and 50%, respectively, when compared to obese controls. Trans-trans CLA-rich soy oil supplementation also lowered the liver lipid content significantly (P < 0.05) with a concomitant decrease in the liver weight in the obese rats. In addition, glycated hemoglobin values were improved in the group receiving CLA-enriched soybean oil in comparison to the obese control. PPAR-γ expression in white adipose tissue was unchanged. In conclusion, trans-trans CLA-rich soy oil was effective in lowering total liver lipids and serum cholesterol.

Abstract
Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is a class of commercially available fatty acids that have been associated with anticancer properties in rodent models of chemical carcinogenesis. We conducted a pilot study to examine the antitumor effect of dietary CLA in a polyoma virus-middle T antigen (PyMT) mouse model of invasive breast cancer. Virgin 4-week-old PyMT mice were administered a mixed-isomer CLA diet (1% wt/wt) or control AIN-93G diet for 4 weeks (N = 6 and 5, respectively) and tumor burden was assessed at 8 weeks of age. Thoracic mammary glands were prepared as whole mounts with other glands being formalin fixed and paraffin embedded for histology and immunohistochemistry (IHC). Total RNA was prepared for microarray and real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analysis. Western blots were performed for protein expression analysis. Tumor incidence was significantly increased in CLA-treated animals compared with controls (P = 0.009) and occurred with extensive lobular-alveolar expansion and loss of mammary adipose tissue. More than 100 genes were downregulated > or = 2-fold in the CLA-treated group compared with controls, including adipose-specific markers, as wells as cytoskeletal and adhesion-related genes. This was supported by dramatic decreases in the epithelial adherens E-cadherin and beta-catenin as demonstrated by IHC. Taken together, these results suggest that dietary CLA affects the mammary stromal environment, leading to tumor progression and cellular expansion in the PyMT mouse model. Further studies of the potential for cancer promotion are needed, especially because mixed-isomer CLA formulations are sold commercially as a nutritional supplement.

Abstract
Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) isomers have been reported to reduce body weight and beneficially affect glucose metabolism in animals, but the results are inconsistent and seem to depend on animal model and type of CLA isomer. In the present study, feeding male Zucker fa/fa rats diets supplemented with 1% trans-10, cis-12-CLA for 10 d reduced the liver TAG content without improving the overall adiposity, and enhanced hepatic mitochondrial and peroxisomal beta-oxidation. The increased carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT)-I activity and mRNA level as well as the increased n-3:n-6 PUFA ratio in liver suggest that trans-10, cis-12-CLA increased the hepatic beta-oxidation by stimulation of PPARalpha. The reduced hepatic TAG content may be partly due to lower activity of stearoyl-CoA desaturase, as the ratios of 18 : 1n-9:18 : 0 and 16 : 1n-7:16 : 0 were reduced in liver. Trans-10, cis-12-CLA increased the CPT-I mRNA in retroperitoneal white adipose tissue (WAT), and increased uncoupling protein-2 mRNA in epididymal and inguinal WAT depots. Leptin mRNA level was decreased in all examined WAT depots, implying reduced insulin sensitivity. The resistin mRNA level was increased in all WAT depots, whereas adiponectin mRNA was reduced in inguinal and retroperitoneal WAT. The present results suggest that dietary supplementation with trans-10, cis-12-CLA may increase the catabolism of lipids in liver and adipose tissue. Moreover, we provide new data suggesting that trans-10, cis-12-CLA modulates the expression of resistin and adiponectin inversely in adipose tissue. Hence, the present results suggest that trans-10, cis-12-CLA may have some beneficial effects on lipid metabolism and adiposity but possibly reduces insulin sensitivity.

Abstract
Obesity has become a prevailing epidemic throughout the globe. Effective therapies for obesity become attracting. Food components with beneficial effects on "weight loss" have caught increasing attentions. Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) belong to different families of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). However, they have similar effects on alleviating obesity and/or preventing from obesity. They influence the balance between energy intake and expenditure; and reduce body weight and/or fat deposition in animal models, but show little effect in healthy human subjects. They inhibit key enzymes responsible for lipid synthesis, such as fatty acid synthase and stearoyl-CoA desaturase-1, enhance lipid oxidation and thermogenesis, and prevent free fatty acids from entering adipocytes for lipogenesis. PUFA also exert suppressive effects on several key factors involved in adipocyte differentiation and fat storage. Despite their similar effects and shared mechanisms, they display differences in the regulation of lipid metabolism. Moreover, DHA and EPA exhibit "anti-obesity" effect as well as improving insulin sensitivity, while CLA induces insulin resistance and fatty liver in most cases. A deeper and more detailed investigation into the complex network of anti-obesity regulatory pathways by different PUFA will improve our understanding of the mechanisms of body weight control and reduce the prevalence of obesity.

Abstract
High-fat feeding (HFF) is a well-accepted model for nutritionally-induced insulin resistance. The purpose of this investigation was to assess the metabolic responses of female lean Zucker rats provided regular chow (4% fat) or a high-fat chow (50% fat) for 15 wk. HFF rats spontaneously adjusted food intake so that daily caloric intake matched that of chow-fed (CF) controls. HFF animals consumed more ( P < 0.05) calories from fat (31.9 ± 1.2 vs. 2.4 ± 0.2 kcal/day) and had significantly greater final body weights (280 ± 10 vs. 250 ± 5 g) and total visceral fat (24 ± 3 vs. 10 ± 1 g). Fasting plasma insulin was 2.3-fold elevated in HFF rats. Glucose tolerance (58%) and whole body insulin sensitivity (75%) were markedly impaired in HFF animals. In HFF plantaris muscle, in vivo insulin receptor β-subunit (IR-β) and insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) tyrosine phosphorylation and phosphorylation of Akt Ser473 and glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) Ser9, relative to circulating insulin levels, were decreased by 40–59%. In vitro insulin-stimulated glucose transport in HFF soleus was decreased by 54%, as were IRS-1 tyrosine phosphorylation (26%) and phosphorylation of Akt Ser473 (38%) and GSK-3β Ser9 (25%), the latter indicative of GSK-3 overactivity. GSK-3 inhibition in HFF soleus using CT98014 increased insulin-stimulated glucose transport (28%), IRS-1 tyrosine phosphorylation (28%) and phosphorylation of Akt Ser473 (38%) and GSK-3β Ser9 (48%). In summary, the female lean Zucker rat fed a high-fat diet represents an isocaloric model of nutritionally-induced insulin resistance associated with moderate visceral fat gain, hyperinsulinemia, and impairments of skeletal muscle insulin-signaling functionality, including GSK-3β overactivity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) has been shown to be an effective supplement for reducing fat mass in animals, whereas results in humans have been inconsistent. OBJECTIVE This is a meta-analysis of human studies in which CLA was provided as a dietary supplement to test its efficacy in reducing fat mass. DESIGN We searched the PubMed database (National Library of Medicine, Bethesda, MD) and references from the resulting search to identify studies in which CLA was provided to humans in randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trials and in which body composition was assessed by using a validated technique. RESULTS We identified 18 eligible studies. Of these, 3 were single-isomer studies, and results comparing CLA isomers were inconclusive. We compared the length of treatment by using studies in which a mixture of purified isomers were used and those in which purified trans-10,cis-12 isomers were used. This comparison indicated that the effect of CLA was linear for up to 6 mo and then slowly approached an asymptote at 2 y. An analysis of the dose effect indicated that fat loss compared with placebo was -0.024 kg x g CLA(-1) x wk(-1) (P=0.03). After adjustment to the median dose of 3.2 g CLA/d, CLA was effective and produced a reduction in fat mass for the CLA group alone (0.05 +/- 0.05 kg/wk; P<0.001) and for the CLA group compared with placebo (0.09 +/- 0.08 kg/wk; P<0.001) CONCLUSION Given at a dose of 3.2 g/d, CLA produces a modest loss in body fat in humans.

Abstract
We investigated whether the substitution of the fatty acid moiety in oleoyl-estrone (OE) by conjugated linoleic acid, i.e. conjugated linoleoyl-estrone (cLE) may help improve the antiobesity effects of OE. Overweight (17% fat) male rats were treated for 10 days with oral OE or cLE (10 nmol/g per day) and compared with controls receiving only the oily vehicle. Rat weight and food intake were measured daily. After killing by decapitation, body composition and main plasma parameters were analysed. cLE induced marked decreases in body weight, energy intake, carcass energy and body lipid, whilst sparing protein; the effects were not significantly different from those obtained with OE. Energy expenditure was unchanged, but energy intake decreased to 46% (OE) or 55% (cLE) of controls; whole body energy decreased by 29% (OE) or 24% (cLE) in the 10-day period studied. Plasma composition showed almost identical decreases in glucose and cholesterol elicited by OE and cLE, with a more marked decrease in triacylglycerols by OE and no effect of either on NEFA. OE decreased leptin and insulin levels, but the effects of cLE were more marked on both, with similar decreases in adiponectin. It can be concluded that cLE is a new drug of the OE family; its overall effects on energy were akin to those of OE, albeit fractionally less effective at the single dose tested. However, this lower potency on lipid mobilisation does not affect other effects, such as powerful hypercholesterolemic effects or the modulation of adiponectin. And last, but not least, cLE seems to produce a more marked decrease in leptin and insulin than OE, which may reflect a coordinate action of the conjugated linoleic acid moiety and the "OE effect" on target tissues. If that were the case, cLE may constitute an improvement over OE in its action on insulin resistance.

Abstract
Dietary CLA has been shown to enhance glucose tolerance in several animal models, but in mice it induces insulin resistance and lipodystrophy. In this study, the effects of 2 wk of diet supplementation with either 1.5% CLA or 0.2% troglitazone (TZD), an insulin-sensitizing thiazolidinedione, on glucose tolerance, lipid accumulation, and composition of both lean and Zucker diabetic fatty (fa/fa; ZDF) rats were examined. Compared with lean rats, which maintained normal glucose tolerances after 2 wk of feeding regardless of diet, ZDF rats fed a control diet (CON) had significantly worsened glucose tolerance. ZDF rats fed CLA and TZD diets, however, maintained normal glucose tolerances. In contrast to the significantly elevated lipid levels in ZDF rats fed the CON diet, concentrations of plasma FFA and TG in ZDF rats fed CLA and TZD diets were normalized. A similar reduction of plasma lipid levels was observed in lean rats fed CLA and TZD compared with lean rats fed the CON diet. Although ZDF CON rats developed significant hepatic steatosis, both CLA- and TZD-fed rats had hepatic TG levels similar to those of lean rats. Both lean and ZDF rats fed the CLA diet had reduced adipose mass compared with respective genotype controls; however, TZD had no effect. Ratios of 16:1/16:0 and 18:1/18:0 FA, surrogate markers for stearoyl-CoA desaturase-1 (SCD-1) activity, were reduced in livers of ZDF rats fed CLA and TZD diets. These results show that, like TZD, CLA normalizes glucose tolerance and plasma lipids and also improves hepatic steatosis and FA composition in ZDF rats. The effects of CLA and TZD on hepatic lipid composition suggest that the effects of these two agents on glucose tolerance may be associated with a reduction in SCD-1.
