Abstract |
Nutraceutics became important components of successful therapies. Recently particular attention has been focused on linoleic acid isomers (CLA) containing conjugated double bonds. Conjugated linoleic acids (CLA) represent a family of octadecadienoic acids which constitute a mixture of geometric and position isomers of linoleic acid in which the double bond occurs in the positions ranging from 6,8 to 9,11 and to 10,12. The 9c,11t C18:2 acid is the predominant isomer. The content of the 9c,11t C18:2 isomer in the cow milk fat, goat milk fat and sheep milk fat were found to oscillate within the ranges 0.65-1.8%, 0.3-1.2% and 1.2-2.3%, respectively. The sheep milk fat shows the highest content of the isomer. Sheep milk fat containing 2% of the 9c,11t C18:2 conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) isomer was selected to study the antiproliferative activity of this isomer. Sheep milk fatty acids containing 2.0% of the 9c,11t C18:2 isomer, and the acids enriched in this isomer up to 12.1%, (N-CLA), were used in the studies. The product (N-CLA) contained 15.0% of the 9c,11t C18:2 isomer and about 8.0% of the 11t C18:1. The sheep milk fatty acids composition and the product enriched in CLA (N-CLA), and also a commercial CLA preparation, were studied in antiproliferative activity against few lines of human cancer. The effect of CLA-enriched preparation of sheep milk fatty acids, N-CLA, revealed higher antiproliferative activity than standard pure CLA and sheep milk fatty acids. The present study was carried out in the framework of the Research Projects 3 T09 B 059 26 financed by the Ministry of Education and Science. |
