Conjugated linoleic acid corrects with its selective effect on the activation and inactivation of some of the enzyme in the body that repair glucose hemostasis and, by increasing the base metabolism, delay the onset of type (II) diabetes and prevent lipid accumulation in the body.
Methods: In this study , data collected from articles with Antidiabetic, Antiobesity, Anticarcinogenic , Antihypertensive , Conjugated linoleic acid in the period 2000 to 2017 were reviewed at Google scholar , Elsevier , Science direct databases.
Findings: Conjugated linoleic acid does not adversely affect bone density despite lower weight, but is used to treat or prevent bone loss after menopause. This type of fatty acid, especially its 12cis - 10trans isomer, prevents atherosclerosis and is effective on limiting the effects of food allergy reactions. Because of great effects of this fatty acid on increasing calcium absorption and creating higher bone density in postmenopausal women and also reduce cancer risk in chest, prostate, junction of colon, rectum, lung, skin, stomach and deduction of cholesterol level LDL and addition of cholesterol HDL in body nowadays this type of fatty acid is used widely for the enrichment of food, in addition supplements of this type of fatty acid are produced industrial and synthetic methods and is effective on improving the health and increasing wellbeing of people.
Conclusion: Linoleic acid with having antioxidant effect doesn't have any effect on blood lipid profile and cardiovascular risk factors. Inhibitory effect of conjugated linoleic acid on increasing cancer cells and preventing their deformation in increasing immune function.
