Adipose tissue in mammals derives from genetic and environmental factors. Adipose cells store triacylglycerol and mobilize these reserves during times of low food intake. Conjugated linoleic acids (CLAs) are believed to be beneficial supplements for maintaining good body mass and reducing fat deposits. The CLAs occur naturally in human fat tissues.
CLAs are believed to be protective against cancer, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. They support immune function and improve energy intakes. Further studies need to be done.
CONCLUSION: Unfortunately, the full article is not available at the present time. CLAs in food and in supplementation are believed to be of benefit in a number of diseases, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer. The CLAs aid in immune functioning and in energy balance.
NOTE: Read about CLA and probiotic bacteria.
