Obesity is an asthma comorbidity associated with increased severity, poor control, reduced steroid responsiveness and greater exacerbation and healthcare utilization rates. These associations are not explained by having a greater degree of Th-2 inflammation. Rather, the obese asthma phenotype
After collecting baseline blood samples, CLA-depletion phase started with dietary orientation, by a registered dietitian, to the study subjects (n=29) to exclude from their diets any type of dairy fat for the following 8 weeks. Blood samples were taken at the end of CLA-depletion, and CLA-repletion
Despite being trans fatty acids, dietary conjugated linoleic acids( CLA) have been associated with decreased atherogenesis, beneficial effects on insulin sensitivity , glucose and lipid profile and body composition in animal studies.Todate only few studies have studied the effects of the two
In order to investigate the effectiveness of CLA on body weight and composition, as well as blood lipids, a double-blinded, 3-phase crossover trial will be conducted in moderately overweight (BMI=25-40 kg/m2), borderline hypercholesterolemic (LDL-C ≥ 2.5 mmol/L) men between the ages of 18-60 years.
Background:
For some time already negative effects of trans fatty acids (TFA) on the cardiovascular system are known. The main TFA sources in our nutrition are partly hydrogenated vegetable oils (PHVO) which result from partially oil hardening.
TFA also occur naturally in ruminant fat (meat, milk
Rationale: Cis-9, trans-11 conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) can protect against the atherosclerosis development in several animal models. Studies in transgenic mice have shown that mechanisms might involve beneficial effects on lipoprotein metabolism and insulin sensitivity and in addition activation
Men (N=19) and women (N=20) completed six months of resistance exercise training with Creatine Monohydrate (5g/d) + Conjugated Linoleic Acid (6g/d) or placebo with randomized, double-blind, allocation.Outcomes included; strength and muscular endurance, functional tasks, body composition (DEXA scan),
