Advances in Conjugated Linoleic Acid Research
Advances in Conjugated Linoleic Acid Research, Volume 2 is the second book in a series devoted entirely to conjugated linoleic acid. This book has updated information on the analysis, biochemistry and applications of conjugated fatty acids in an attempt to make Volume 2, in conjunction with Volume 1 (published in 1999), the most comprehensive, up-to-date sources of CLA-related information available today. Both scientific and commercial views are presented, with the same data sometimes interpreted differently.
Conjugated Linoleic Acids and Conjugated Vegetable Oils
This book presents a comprehensive overview of all different aspects of CLA, and summarises the chemistry of their various applications.
Gamma Linolenic Acid
The First International Symposium of - gama linolenic acid (GLA) was held in conjunction with the 1995 Annual Meeting of the AOCS in San Antonio, Texas. This meeting brought together many world-renowned experts to overview in depth the biochemistry, metabolism, nutrition, and clinical use of GLA. This monograph represents the record of this symposium.
Advances in Conjugated Linoleic Acid Research
Interest in conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) has increased substantially in recent years. As one would expect with any evolving scientific area, research to date has provided more questions than answers. This book provides an up-to-date report of work that is still in progress. The editors document the state of knowledge about CLA as the twentieth century draws to a close.
Linoleic Acid
This book contains information on the latest research on linoleic acid composition, in a wide range of dietary sources, as well as advancements in food technology to ensure better nutritional quality of LA. Biochemists, nutritionists, dieticians, food industry technologists, clinicians, and allied health professionals will find the information in this book essential and immensely valuable. Topics discussed include: natural sources of linoleic acids (LA); variations in the LA content of plant and animal products; extraction methods for LA; plant adaptation in the polar region and its effect on LA composition in agricultural animals; the effect of geographical variation on consumer preferences for olive oil types; the influence of plant lipids on the LA composition of animal fat; the oxidation kinetics of LA; the potential benefits of LA isomers in treatment of obesity, ischemic stroke and atopic dermatitis; and the possible mechanisms linking LA with the development of various types of cancers.
Conjugated Linoleic Acid for Weight Loss
It's time to throw out the misconception that all dietary fats are bad. While some types of fat are unhealthy, other types of fat are essential for human life. As scientists have learned about the importance of omega-3 fatty acids for heart health, they have also discovered that a dietary fat called conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) can help the body to burn fat, build lean muscle mass, and maintain ideal weight. In this important booklet, author Lane Williams reviews the evidence that demonstrates the effectiveness of CLA, and discusses how this safe and effective supplement can be part of a holistic regimen to achieve and maintain ideal weight.

Omega-6/omega-3 Essential Fatty Acid Ratio
Studies on the evolutionary aspects of diet and molecular studies included in this volume indicate that human beings evolved on a diet that was balanced in the essential fatty acids (EFA). In fact, the ratio of omega-6/omega-3 EFA was 1/1 whereas present day diets in both developed and developing countries have a much higher ratio, between 5/1 and 50/1. Additional studies show that a high ratio of omega-6/omega-3 EFA is detrimental to health and may lead to the development of chronic diseases. Improving the dietary ratio by decreasing the omega-6 fatty acids and increasing the omega-3 fatty acids is essential for brain function and for the management of cardiovascular disease, arthritis and cancer. A ratio of 4/1 or less leads to lower dosage and to the reduction of adverse effects of drugs. This volume should be of interest to a large and varied audience of researchers in academia, industry, and government; cardiologists, geneticists, immunologists, neuroscientists, and cancer specialists; as well as nutritionists, dietitians, food scientists, agriculturists, economists and regulators.
