Isomer enriched conjugated linoleic acid compositions
View Patent ↗Compositions and methods of using conjugated linoleic acid preparations enriched for the t10,c12 and c9,t11 isomers are disclosed. It is found that preparations of conjugated linoleic acid containing a ratio of t10,c12 to c9,t11 of about greater than 1.2:1 are desirable for a wide variety of nutritional, therapeutic and pharmacologic uses.
1. A method of elevating white blood cell count in a mammal comprising:
a) providing a CLA composition comprising t10,c12 octadecadienoic acid and c9,t11 octadecadienoic acid in a ratio of about 1.2:1 to 3:1 and a mammal; and
b) administering said CLA composition to said mammal under conditions such that CD4 and CD8 counts are elevated.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein said CLA composition is administered orally.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein said CLA composition comprises free fatty acids of t10,c12 octadecadienoic acid and c9,t11 octadecadienoic acid.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein said CLA composition comprises esters of t10,c12 octadecadienoic acid and c9,t11 octadecadienoic acid.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein said CLA composition comprises acylglycerides of t10,c12 octadecadienoic acid and c9,t11 octadecadienoic acid.
6. A method of attenuating allergic rections in a mammal comprising:
a) providing a CLA composition comprising t10,c12 octadecadienoic acid and c9,t11 octadecadienoic acid in a ratio of about 1.2:1 to 3:1 and a mammal; and
b) administering said CLA composition to said mammal under conditions such that said allergic reactions are attenuated.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein said CLA composition is administered orally.
8. The method of claim 6 , wherein said CLA composition comprises free fatty acids of t10,c12 octadecadienoic acid and c9,t11 octadecadienoic acid.
9. The method of claim 6 wherein said CLA composition comprises esters of t10,c12 octadecadienoic acid and c9,t11 octadecadienoic acid.
10. The method of claim 6 , wherein said CLA composition comprises acylglycerides of t10,c12 octadecadienoic acid and c9,t11 octadecadienoic acid.
