General description

Linoleic acid can give rise to a class of geometric, positional and conjugated dienoic isomers called conjugated linoleic acids(CLA),mostly found in animal products, which can act like a cancer preventive agent in animals.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Linoleic acid increases cell proliferation and gene expression of PPARα and its target genes such as acyl-CoA oxidase in primary duck hepatocytes .
