“…This initial discovery lead to a series of studies that identified a broad range of beneficial biological properties of CLA, including but not limited to effects on weight loss, food and energy intake, alteration of body composition, cancer, enhancement of immune function, and inflammation (Lee et al, 1994;O'Shea et al, 2004;Kelley et al, 2007;Whigham et al, 2007;Mitchell and McLeod 2008). The antiobesity, anticarcinogenic, anti-inflammatory and antidiabetic effects of CLA have been widely described in animal studies (Park et al, 1997;West et al, 1998;de Lany et al, 1999;Ostrowska et al, 1999;Park et al, 1999;Tsuboyama-Kasaoka et al, 2000;Whigham et al, 2000;Bassaganya-Riera et al, 2001a;Ryder et al, 2001;Sisk et al, 2001;Bassaganya-Riera et al, 2002;Hontecillas et al, 2002;Terpstra et al, 2002;Yamasaki et al, 2003b;Bassaganya-Riera et al, 2004;O'Shea et al, 2004;Bassaganya-Riera and Hontecillas, 2006;Evans et al, 2010;Moon, 2014). However, such effects seem to be inconsistent and less significant in humans.…”
