Abstract: Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) refers to a group of geometric and positional isomers of linoleic acid (cis-9, cis-12 octadecadienoic acid). The richest sources of CLA in the human diet are ruminant origin, and milk and milk products are the predominat source. Studies with animal models have demonstrated diverse range of beneficial health effects and CLA is the only fatty acid shown unequivocally to inhibit carcinogenesis in experimental animals. In the following sections we will provide background on CLA’s biosyntheisis in dairy cows, and discuss recent developments of the effects of dietary polyunsaturated fatty acid on milk CLA content.
