Conjugated Linoleic Acid in Obese Women (CLA)

Effect of Conjugated Linoleic Acid Associated With Aerobic Exercise on Body Fat and Lipid Profile in Obese Women: A Randomized, Double-blinded and Placebo-controlled Trial

In this trial, the investigators analyzed the effects of eight weeks of CLA supplementation associated with aerobic exercise on body fat and lipid profile in obese women.

The aim of this investigation was to analyze the effects of eight weeks of CLA supplementation associated with aerobic exercise on body fat and lipid profile in obese women. The investigators performed a randomized, double-blinded and placebo-controlled trial with 28 obese women who received 3.2 g/d of CLA or 4 g/d of olive oil (placebo group) while performing an 8-week protocol of aerobic exercise. Dietary intake (food record), body fat (DXA) and biochemical analysis (blood sample) were assessed before and after the intervention period.

CLA group received supplementation at a dose of 3.2 g/day (mixture of isomers of CLA isomers predominantly c9, t11 - 50% and c12, t10 - 80%).

CLA group received supplementation at a dose of 3.2 g/day (mixture of isomers of CLA isomers predominantly c9, t11 - 50% and c12, t10 - 80%). Aerobic exercise associated with CLA

Inclusion Criteria: Had no signs or symptoms of disease No orthopedic injuries Must be inactive or moderately active (defined as performing any type of physical exercise less than twice a week) Must be non-smokers Must be free from the use of ergogenic aids Had no metabolic disorders or chronic degenerative diseases Not use drug therapy for body mass loss. Exclusion Criteria: Had frequency to training sessions below 85% of the total sessions
