ABSTRACT
Fat-reduction effects of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) have been documented in rodents and pigs. Growing lambs were fed three levels of CLA or Megalac (MEG) which was fed to control for energy content. In adipose tissue, the proportions of both CLA isomers increased with CLA supplementation fed but not with Megalac inclusion. A similar dose accumulation with increasing CLA was seen for the trans-10, cis-12 isomer in samples of L. dorsi muscle. However, although the tissues had been enriched with CLA, there was no evidence of a fat reduction in these sheep.
