          Abstract

          Realizou-se uma revisão sistemática, sem restrição de data, sobre os efeitos fisiológicos do ácido linoléico conjugado sobre a regressão da carcinogênese, o estresse oxidativo, o metabolismo de lípides e glicose e a alteração da composição corporal. Objetivando estabelecer o aspecto histórico do avanço da pesquisa em ácido linoléico conjugado, consideraram-se artigos originais resultantes de trabalhos realizados com animais, com cultura de células e com humanos. Quanto às pesquisas sobre o efeito anticarcinogênico do ácido linoléico conjugado foram encontradas inúmeras evidências a esse respeito, especialmente na regressão dos tumores mamários e de cólon, induzida por ambos os isômeros os quais agem de maneiras distintas. Os pesquisadores se empenham em reinvestigar as propriedades antioxidantes do ácido linoléico conjugado. Embora tenham sido investigadas as propriedades antioxidantes, tem-se identificado efeito pró-oxidante, levando ao estresse oxidativo em humanos. Foram poucos os estudos que demonstraram efeito positivo significativo do ácido linoléico conjugado sobre o metabolismo dos lípides e da glicose e sobre a redução da gordura corporal, especialmente em humanos. Estudos sobre efeitos adversos foram também identificados. Há fortes indícios de que a ação deste ácido graxo conjugado sobre uma classe de fatores de transcrição - os receptores ativados por proliferadores de peroxissomo - e sobre a conseqüente modulação da expressão gênica, possa ser a explicação fundamental dos efeitos fisiológicos. Embora incipientes, os mais recentes estudos reforçam o conceito da nutrigenômica, ou seja, a modulação da expressão gênica induzida por compostos presentes na alimentação humana. O cenário atual estimula a comunidade científica a buscar um consenso sobre os efeitos do ácido linoléico conjugado em humanos, já que este está presente naturalmente em alguns alimentos, que, quando consumidos em quantidades adequadas e de forma freqüente, poderiam atuar como coadjuvantes na prevenção e no controle de inúmeras doenças crônicas.

          This systematic review without date restrictions is about the physiological effects of conjugated linoleic acid on regression of carcinogenesis, oxidative stress, glucose and lipid metabolism and change in body composition. The objective was to establish the historical aspect of research advances regarding conjugated linoleic acid, considering original articles reporting work on animals, cell cultures and humans. Regarding the researches on the anticarcinogenic effect of conjugated linoleic acid, innumerous evidences were found in this respect, especially in the regression of mammary and colon tumors induced by both isomers which act distinctively. The researchers devoted considerable effort to reinvestigate the antioxidant properties of conjugated linoleic acid. Although the antioxidant properties have been investigated, pro-oxidant effect has been identified leading to oxidative stress in humans. Few studies demonstrated significant beneficial effects of conjugated linoleic acid on the metabolism of lipids and glucose and on the reduction of body fat, especially in humans. Studies with adverse effects were also identified. There is strong indication that the action of this conjugated fatty acid on a class of transition factors - the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor - and on the consequent modulation of gene expression can be the fundamental explanation of its physiological effects. The most recent studies reinforce the nutrigenomic concept, that is, the modulation of gene expression induced by compounds present in the foods consumed by humans. This current scenario stimulates the scientific community to seek a consensus on the effects of conjugated linoleic acid in humans, since it is naturally found in some foods; when these foods are consumed regularly and in appropriate amounts, they could help prevent and control innumerous chronic diseases.

          A simple procedure for rapid transmethylation of glycerolipids and cholesteryl esters.

          W Christie (1982)
          A simple procedure suitable for rapid transmethylation of triacylglycerols, other neutral lipids (including cholesteryl esters), and glycerophospholipids is described. Lipids in diethyl ether solution (50 volumes), in the presence of methyl acetate (1 vol), are reacted with 1 M sodium methoxide in methanol (1 vol) at room temperature. Essentially complete transmethylation can occur within a few minutes with no hydrolysis. Glassware and reagent requirements are minimal and samples are ready for gas-liquid chromatography analysis with very little work-up.

            The biologically active isomers of conjugated linoleic acid.

            Numerous physiological effects are attributed to conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). The purpose of this presentation is to consider these effects with respect to the cis-9,trans-11 and trans-10,cis-12 CLA isomers. We review previously published data and present new findings that relate to underlying biochemical mechanisms of action. Both isomers are natural products. The cis-9,trans-11 isomer is the principal dietary form of CLA, but the concentrations of this isomer and the trans-10,cis-12 isomer in dairy products or beef vary depending on the diet fed to cows or steers, respectively. The trans-10,cis-12 CLA isomer exerts specific effects on adipocytes, in particular reducing the uptake of lipid by inhibiting the activities of lipoprotein lipase and stearoyl-CoA desaturase. The trans-10,cis-12 CLA isomer also affects lipid metabolism in cultured Hep-G2 human liver cells, whereas both the cis-9,trans-11 and trans-10,cis-12 CLA isomers appear to be active in inhibiting carcinogenesis in animal models. We present new findings indicating that the cis-9,trans-11 CLA isomer enhances growth and probably feed efficiency in young rodents. Accordingly, the effects of CLA on body composition (induced by trans-10,cis-12 CLA) and growth/feed efficiency (induced by cis-9,trans-11 CLA) appear to be due to separate biochemical mechanisms. We also show that a 19-carbon CLA cognate (conjugated nonadecadienoic acid, CNA) inhibits lipoprotein lipase activity as effectively as CLA in cultured 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Presumably, CNA is metabolized differently than the 18-carbon CLA isomers, so this finding indicates direct activity of the administered compound as opposed to acting via a metabolite.

              Effect of conjugated linoleic acid on body composition in mice.

              The effects of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) on body composition were investigated. ICR mice were fed a control diet containing 5.5% corn oil or a CLA-supplemented diet (5.0% corn oil plus 0.5% CLA). Mice fed CLA-supplemented diet exhibited 57% and 60% lower body fat and 5% and 14% increased lean body mass relative to controls (P < 0.05). Total carnitine palmitoyltransferase activity was increased by dietary CLA supplementation in both fat pad and skeletal muscle; the differences were significant for fat pad of fed mice and skeletal muscle of fasted mice. In cultured 3T3-L1 adipocytes CLA treatment (1 x 10(-4)M) significantly reduced heparin-releasable lipoprotein lipase activity (-66%) and the intracellular concentrations of triacylglyceride (-8%) and glycerol (-15%), but significantly increased free glycerol in the culture medium (+22%) compared to control (P < 0.05). The effects of CLA on body composition appear to be due in part to reduced fat deposition and increased lipolysis in adipocytes, possibly coupled with enhanced fatty acid oxidation in both muscle cells and adipocytes.
