  • Drug or Supplement Combination with Conjugated Linoleic Acid for Fat Loss in Mammals
    Publication number: 20100152275
    Abstract: Food, feed or drug combinations with conjugated linoleic acid are described that cause enhanced fat loss in mammals more efficiently than any of the individual components of the combination. Food, feed, or drugs that activate AMP activated protein kinase, agonists of nuclear receptors that bind RXR in adipocytes, or statin inhibitors were found to be more effective for fat loss when combined with conjugated linoleic acid.
