Concentration‐dependent antioxidant activities of conjugated linoleic acid and α‐tocopherol in corn oil

Abstract

CLA compounds could serve as useful food antioxidants and provide additional value because of their potential bioactivity in disease prevention. Copyright © 2007 Society of Chemical Industry.

Phytochemical investigation and medicinal evaluation of fixed oil of Balanites aegyptiaca fruits (Balantiaceae)

“…The increment of the antioxidant capacity of the Balanites aegyptiaca oil compared with standard oleic acid is due to synergistic effect of oleic and linoleic acid in addition to sterols (El-Din and Omaye, 2007;De-Jong et al, 2008).…”

Natural antioxidants in milk and dairy products

“…CLA occurs in the form of 28 positional and geometric isomers that differ in the location of double bonds and spatial configuration of cis and trans isomers ( cis – cis , trans–trans, cis–trans, trans–cis ). Isomers with high biological activity include cis ‐9, trans ‐11 and trans ‐10, cis ‐12 CLA (Badr El‐Din and Omaye ; Wang and Lee ).…”

“…). The wide spectrum of health benefits delivered by CLA can be attributed to high levels of antioxidant activity (approximately 100‐fold higher than α‐tocopherol; Badr El‐Din and Omaye ). In vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated that cis ‐9, trans ‐11 CLA can inhibit the development of tumour cells, delay sclerotic changes and type A diabetes, reduce fat tissue, improve bone mineralisation and exert immunostimulatory and bacteriostatic effects (Parodi ).…”

“…). Even at low concentrations, CLA is a more effective free radical scavenger than α‐tocopherol, and its activity levels are comparable to butylhydroxytoluene (BHT), a synthetic antioxidant used in food products with a high fat content (Badr El‐Din and Omaye ; Fagali and Catalá ).…”

Therapeutic Applications of Camel’s Milk and Urine against Cancer: Current Development Efforts and Future Perspectives

“…Lactoferrin is an important iron-binding glycoprotein possesses immune-inducing and immunomodulatory properties thereby exert antitumor activity [73][74][75]. Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) serve as useful food antioxidants and inhibit activation of carcinogen by opposing direct interaction of procarcinogen, scavenging of electrophiles or selective induction of phase I detoxification pathways [76][77][78][79][80][81]. Selenium is a constituent of various oxidant defense selenioproteins and a cofactor of glutathione peroxidase in the elimination of peroxide radicals and hence prevents cancer development.…”
