Meat fatty acid composition is influenced by genetic factors, although to a lower extent than
dietary factors. The species is the major source of variation in fatty acid composition with …

There is increased consumer awareness that foods contain microcomponents that may have
beneficial effects on health maintenance and disease prevention. In milk fat these functional …

After a brief survey of metabolic pathways and nutrient fluxes involved in mammary
lipogenesis, this review summarises the known effects of diet on ruminant milk fat …

Meat and milk from ruminant animals represent the major dietary sources of conjugated
linoleic acid (CLA). Because potential health benefits have been associated with dietary …

This review summarises the known effects of forages, animal fats or marine oils on bovine
milk fat secretion and composition. Special attention is given to fatty acids that could play a …

This review summarises the known effects of dietary factors on bovine and caprine milk fatty
acid composition, as well as the regulation of cow and goat mammary lipid secretion …

Dairy products are the main source of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a functional food
component with health benefits. The major source of cis-9, trans-11 CLA in milk fat is …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the biosynthesis of conjugated linoleic acid
(CLA) in ruminants and humans. Conjugated linoleic acid is a mixture of positional and …

Much attention has been directed toward conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) since the discovery
of its anticarcinogenic properties two decades ago. Many other biological activities have …

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) has been recently studied mainly because of its potential in
protecting against cancer, atherogenesis, and diabetes. Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is a …
