Abstract
Chemiosmosis and substrate-level phosphorylation are the 2 mechanisms employed to form the biological energy currency adenosine triphosphate (ATP). During chemiosmosis, a transmembrane electrochemical ion gradient is harnessed by a rotary ATP synthase to phosphorylate adenosine diphosphate to ATP. In microorganisms, this ion gradient is usually composed of [Formula: see text], but it can also be composed of Na+ Here, we show that the strictly anaerobic rumen bacterium Pseudobutyrivibrio ruminis possesses 2 ATP synthases and 2 distinct respiratory enzymes, the ferredoxin:[Formula: see text] oxidoreductase (Rnf complex) and the energy-converting hydrogenase (Ech complex). In silico analyses revealed that 1 ATP synthase is [Formula: see text]-dependent and the other Na+-dependent, which was validated by biochemical analyses. Rnf and Ech activity was also biochemically identified and investigated in membranes of P. ruminis Furthermore, the physiology of the rumen bacterium and the role of the energy-conserving systems was investigated in dependence of 2 different catabolic pathways (the Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas or the pentose-phosphate pathway) and in dependence of Na+ availability. Growth of P. ruminis was greatly stimulated by Na+, and a combination of physiological, biochemical, and transcriptional analyses revealed the role of the energy conserving systems in P. ruminis under different metabolic scenarios. These data demonstrate the use of a 2-component ion circuit for [Formula: see text] bioenergetics and a 2nd 2-component ion circuit for Na+ bioenergetics in a strictly anaerobic rumen bacterium. In silico analyses infer that these 2 circuits are prevalent in a number of other strictly anaerobic microorganisms.

Abstract
Diet-induced milk fat depression (MFD) is a condition marked by a reduction in milk fat yield experimentally achieved by increasing dietary unsaturated fatty acids and fermentable carbohydrates. 2-Hydroxy-4-(methylthio) butanoate (HMTBa) is a methionine analog observed to reduce diet-induced MFD in dairy cows. We hypothesize that the reduction in diet-induced MFD by HMTBa is due to changes in the rumen microbiota. To test this, 22 high-producing cannulated Holstein dairy cows were placed into 2 groups using a randomized block design and assigned to either control or HMTBa supplementation (0.1% of diet dry matter). All cows were then exposed to 3 different diets with a low risk (32% neutral detergent fiber, no added oil; fed d 1 to 7), a moderate risk (29% neutral detergent fiber and 0.75% soybean oil; fed d 8 to 24), or a high risk (29% neutral detergent fiber and 1.5% soybean oil; fed d 25 to 28) for diet-induced MFD. Rumen samples were collected on d 0, 14, 24, and 28, extracted for DNA, PCR-amplified for the V1-V2 region of the 16S rRNA gene, sequenced on an Illumina MiSeq (Illumina, San Diego, CA), and subjected to bacterial diversity analysis using the QIIME pipeline. The α diversity estimates (species richness and Shannon diversity) were decreased in the control group compared with the HMTBa group. Bacterial community composition also differed between control and HMTBa groups based on both weighted UniFrac (relative abundance of commonly detected bacteria) and unweighted UniFrac (presence/absence) distances. Within the HMTBa group, no differences were observed in bacterial community composition between d 0 and d 14, 24, and 28; however, in the control group, d 0 samples were different from d 14, 24, and 28. Certain bacterial genera including Dialister, Megasphaera, Lachnospira, and Sharpea were increased in the control group compared with the HMTBa group. Interestingly, these genera were positively correlated with milk fat trans-10,cis-12 conjugated linoleic acid and trans-10 C18:1, fatty acid isomers associated with biohydrogenation-induced MFD. It can be concluded that diet-induced MFD is accompanied by significant alterations in the rumen bacterial community and that HMTBa supplementation reduces these microbial perturbations.

Abstract
Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) has been shown to exert various potential physiological properties including anti-carcinogenic, anti-obesity, anti-cardiovascular and anti-diabetic activities, and consequently has been considered as a promising food supplement. Bacterial biosynthesis of CLA is an attractive approach for commercial production due to its high isomer-selectivity and convenient purification process. Many bacterial species have been reported to convert free linoleic acid (LA) to CLA, hitherto only the precise CLA-producing mechanisms in Propionibacterium acnes and Lactobacillus plantarum have been illustrated completely, prompting the development of recombinant technology used in CLA production. The purpose of the article is to review the bacterial CLA producers as well as the recent progress on describing the mechanism of microbial CLA-production. Furthermore, the advances and potential in the heterologous expression of CLA genetic determinants will be presented.

Abstract
Obesity is the most widespread nutritional disease in the United States. Developing effective and safe strategies to manage excess body weight is therefore of paramount importance. One potential strategy to reduce obesity is to consume conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) supplements containing isomers cis-9, trans-11 and trans-10, cis-12, or trans-10, cis-12 alone. Proposed antiobesity mechanisms of CLA include regulation of (a) adipogenesis, (b) lipid metabolism, (c) inflammation, (d) adipocyte apoptosis, (e) browning or beiging of adipose tissue, and (f) energy metabolism. However, causality of CLA-mediated responses to body fat loss, particularly the linkage between inflammation, thermogenesis, and energy metabolism, is unclear. This review examines whether CLA's antiobesity properties are due to inflammatory signaling and considers CLA's linkage with lipogenesis, lipolysis, thermogenesis, and browning of white and brown adipose tissue. We propose a series of questions and studies to interrogate the role of the sympathetic nervous system in mediating CLA's antiobesity properties.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Health-promoting polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) are abundant in forages grazed by ruminants and in vegetable and fish oils used as dietary supplements, but only a small proportion of PUFA finds its way into meat and milk, because of biohydrogenation in the rumen. Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens plays a major role in this activity. The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanisms by which PUFA affect the growth of B. fibrisolvens, how PUFA are metabolized and the metabolic response to growth in the presence of PUFA. RESULTS Linoleic acid (LA; cis-9, cis-12-18:2) and alpha-linolenic acid (LNA; cis-9, cis-12, cis-15-18:3) increased the lag phase of B. fibrisolvens JW11, LNA having the greater effect. Growth was initiated only when the PUFA had been converted to vaccenic acid (VA; trans-11-18:1). The major fish oil fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA; 20:5(n-3)) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; 22:6(n-3)), were not metabolized and prevented growth. Cellular integrity, as determined fluorimetrically by propidium iodide (PI) ingression, was affected as much by 18:1 fatty acids, including VA, as 18:2 fatty acids. The methyl esters of LNA, LA, EPA and DHA had no effect on growth or other measurements. The ATP pool decreased by 2/3 when LA was added to growing bacteria, whereas most acyl CoA pools decreased by >96%. CONCLUSIONS It was concluded that biohydrogenation occurs to enable B. fibrisolvens to survive the bacteriostatic effects of PUFA, and that the toxicity of PUFA is probably mediated via a metabolic effect rather than disruption of membrane integrity.

Abstract
Mortierella alpina is a filamentous fungus commonly found in soil, which is able to produce large amount of polyunsaturated fatty acids. L-fucose is an important sugar found in a diverse range of organisms, playing a variety of biological roles. In this study, we characterized the de novo biosynthetic pathway of GDP-L-fucose (the nucleotide-activated form of L-fucose) in M. alpina. Genes encoding GDP-D-mannose 4,6-dehydratase (GMD) and GDP-keto-6-deoxymannose 3,5-epimerase/4-reductase (GMER) were expressed heterologously in Escherichia coli. The recombinant enzymes were produced as His-tagged fusion proteins. Conversion of GDP-mannose to GDP-4-keto-6-deoxy mannose by GMD and GDP-4-keto-6-deoxy mannose to GDP-L-fucose by GMER were analyzed by capillary electrophoresis, electro-spray ionization-mass spectrometry, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The k(m) values of GMD for GDP-mannose and GMER for GDP-4-keto-6-deoxy mannose were determined to be 0.77 mM and 1.047 mM, respectively. Both NADH and NADPH may be used by GMER as the coenzyme. The optimum temperature and pH were determined to be 37 degrees C and pH 9.0 (GMD) or pH 7.0 (GMER). Divalent cations are not required for GMD and GMER activity, and the activities of both enzymes may be enhanced by DTT. To our knowledge this is the first report on the characterization of GDP-L-fucose biosynthetic pathway in fungi.

Abstract
AIMS To characterize the cause for the lack of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) reductase (CLA-R) activity in the Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens MDT-5 strain that rapidly isomerizes linoleic acid (LA) to CLA without hydrogenation, the CLA-R was purified and its gene (cla-r) sequence was determined. METHODS AND RESULTS CLA-R was purified to near homogeneity as a 53-kDa monomeric protein from the high CLA-R activity-expressing strain MDT-10. The purified CLA-R recognized conjugated double bonds. Unsaturated fatty acids containing 18 carbons markedly increased the CLA-R expression at the transcriptional level. Complete sequencing of the cla-r gene revealed that the CLA-R is a novel protein. Sequence analysis of the cla-r gene from the MDT-5 strain revealed that the MDT-5 CLA-R protein sequence differed from that of the MDT-10 at four consecutive amino acids. Northern and Western blotting analyses confirmed that the cla-r mRNA and protein are expressed normally in MDT-5. CONCLUSIONS Strain MDT-5 expresses the CLA-R protein that lacks enzyme activity because of mutation, which explains why MDT-5 exclusively produces CLA from LA. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY The cla-r gene was sequenced for the first time. Exogenous fatty acids affected the cla-r transcription. These results will provide additional knowledge on biohydrogenation, and may also augment the CLA production in the gastrointestinal tract.

Abstract
Background The primary objective was to determine whether consumption of conjugated linoleic acids (CLAs) affected the fecal microbiota composition, fecal enzyme activity or fecal composition. Methods Human subjects consumed (1 L/day) cows' milk (4% fat) containing (5 mg/g fat) cis-9, trans-11 CLA (CONT), (32 mg/g fat) cis-9, trans-11 CLA (NAT) and (32 mg/g fat) trans-10, cis-12 CLA and cis-9, trans-11 CLA (SYN) for 8 weeks, in addition to their normal diet. Milk feeding periods were separated by 4 week washout periods. Fecal samples were obtained at the beginning (day 0) and the end (day 56) of each milk feeding period. Fecal samples were analysed for microbiological profile, enzyme activity, pH and short chain fatty acid content. Results Samples taken at day 0 and day 56 indicated that the numbers of lactobacilli and bifidobacteria significantly decreased after consumption of all experimental milks; total aerobes, total anaerobes, enterobacteria, and enterococci + streptococci did not change. At day 56, the activities of β-glucosidase, nitroreductase, and urease enzymes had decreased compared to samples taken on day 0 for all treatments. β-glucuronidase activity did not change. Fecal pH and ammonia content did not change. Conclusion It was concluded that observed changes could have been attributed to increased milk intake; no differences could be attributed to consumption of the different CLAs.

Abstract
The present study was designed to study the mechanisms by which dietary conjugated linoleic acids (CLA) decrease serum cholesterol. Hamsters were fed a semi-synthetic diet containing 1 g cholesterol/kg diet with or without supplementation with 20 g linoleic acid (LA) and 20 g CLA/kg diet. After 8 weeks, serum fasting total cholesterol (TC) and triacylglycerol (TG) were significantly lower in the LA-supplemented and CLA-supplemented groups compared with those of the control (CTL) hamsters. In contrast to LA, CLA significantly lowered hepatic cholesterol but it increased the level of adipose tissue cholesterol, suggesting that the hypocholesterolaemic mechanism of CLA is different from that of LA. CLA decreased the activity of intestinal acyl CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) whereas LA had no effect on this enzyme. Consequently, CLA supplementation increased the faecal excretion of total neutral sterols, but it had no or little effect on the faecal acidic sterols. If the ACAT is associated with cholesterol absorption, the part of mechanisms by which CLA decreases serum cholesterol may involve down-regulation of intestinal ACAT activity.

Abstract
Many biotransformations of mid- to long chain fatty acyl derivatives are intrinsically interesting because of their high selectivity and novel mechanisms. These include one carbon transfer, hydration, isomerization, hydrogenation, ladderane and hydrocarbon formation, thiolation and various oxidative transformations such as epoxidation, hydroxylation and desaturation. In addition, hydroperoxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids leads to a diverse array of bioactive compounds. The bioorganic aspects of selected reactions will be highlighted in this review; 210 references are cited.

Abstract
Ruminal biohydrogenation of alpha-linolenic acid is not fully understood compared with that of linoleic acid. Some hypothetical intermediates, that is, conjugated isomers of alpha-linolenic acid (cis-9,trans-11,cis-15 and cis-9,trans-13,cis-15 18:3) have never been reported to occur in ruminant fat. Therefore, milk fat was analyzed using a combination of techniques to characterize alpha-linolenic acid biohydrogenation intermediates. Tandem off-line argentation thin-layer chromatography and high-resolution gas-liquid chromatography using a 120-m highly polar, open tubular capillary column coated with 70% cyanoalkyl polysiloxane equivalent material was used for quantification. Structural characterization of fatty acids was achieved by gas-chromatography mass-spectrometry after synthesis of specific azo-derivatives. This study confirmed that minute amounts of alpha-linolenic acid biohydrogenation intermediates are present in milk fat. Routes involved in biohydrogenation of linoleic and alpha-linolenic acids in the rumen and subsequent endogenous metabolism of related biohydrogenation products are discussed.

Abstract
A new strain of Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens (TH1) that has high potential to produce conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) was isolated. Strain TH1 had higher LA isomerase (LA-I) activity, and was much more tolerant to linoleic acid (LA) than other strains examined. However, high CLA reductase (CLA-R) activity resulted in the temporary accumulation of CLA and subsequent conversion to trans-vaccenic acid (t-VA). When LA was added to growing TH1 cultures in a solution with dimethylsulfoxide (LA/DMSO), CLA produced was greater than when LA was added in a mixture with bovine serum albumin (BSA). The number of viable cells decreased upon addition of LA/DMSO, but then increased as the CLA decreased upon its conversion to t-VA. This result suggests that B. fibrisolvens can resume growing by the removal of CLA from the cells. Most CLA was released from B. fibrisolvens cells by gentle washing with BSA, suggesting that CLA bound to the cells might be removed in the rumen and large intestine. Thus, CLA production by B. fibrisolvens in the digestive tract could be increased by a reduction in CLA-R activity without accompanying an overall decrease in the cell number of B. fibrisolvens. Fatty acids (FAs) with 18 carbon backbone inducted LA-I activity, whereas unsaturated FAs induced CLA-R activity, suggesting that FAs stimulate the synthesis of LA-I and CLA-R. Providing a diet with a low ratio of unsaturated to saturated FAs may favor CLA production.

Abstract
The chemistry of conjugated fatty acids, specifically octadecadienoic acids (18:2; commonly referred to as conjugated linoleic acid, or CLA), has provided many challenges to lipid analysts because of their unique physical properties and the many possible positional and geometric isomers. After the acid-labile properties of CLAs during analytic procedures were overcome, it became evident that natural products, specifically dairy fats, contain one dominant (c9,t11-CLA), 3 intermediate (t7,c9-, t9,c11-, and t11,c13-CLA), and up to 20 more minor CLA isomers. The best analytic techniques to date include a combination of gas chromatography that uses 100-m highly polar capillary columns, silver ion-HPLC, and a combination of silver ion-thin-layer chromatography and gas chromatography to analyze the CLA and trans 18:1 isomers, because some of them serve as precursors of CLA in biological systems. These analytic techniques have assisted commercial suppliers to prepare pure CLA isomers and have permitted the evaluation of individual CLA isomers for their nutritional and biological activity in animal and human systems. It is increasingly evident that different CLA isomers have distinctly different physiologic and biochemical properties. These techniques are essential to evaluate dairy fats for their CLA content, to design experimental diets to increase the amount of CLA in dairy fats, and to determine the CLA profile in these CLA-enriched dairy fats. These improved techniques are used to evaluate the CLA profile in pork products from pigs fed different commercial CLA mixtures.

Abstract
Various nutritional studies on CLA, a mixture of isomers of linoleic acid, have reported the occurrence of conjugated long-chain PUFA after feeding experimental animals with rumenic acid, 9c,11t-18:2, the major CLA isomer, probably as a result of successive desaturation and chain elongation. In the present work, in vitro studies were carried out to obtain information on the conversion of rumenic acid. Experiments were first focused on the in vitro delta6-desaturation of rumenic acid, the regulatory step in the biosynthesis of long-chain n-6 PUFA. The conversion of rumenic acid was compared to that of linoleic acid (9c,12c-18:2). Isolated rat liver microsomes were incubated with radiolabeled 9c,12c-18:2 and 9c,11t-18:2 under desaturation conditions. The data indicated that [1-(14)C]9c,11t-18:2 was a poorer substrate for delta6-desaturase than [1-(14)C]9c,12c-18:2. Next, in vitro elongation of 6c,9c,11t-18:3 and 6c,9c,12c-18:3 (gamma-linolenic acid) was investigated in rat liver microsomes. Under elongation conditions, [1-(14)C]6c,9c,11t-18:3 was 1.5-fold better converted into [3-(14)C]8c,11c,13t-20:3 than [1-(14)C]6c,9c,12c-18:3 into [3-(14)C]8c,11c,14c-20:3. Finally, in vitro delta5-desaturation of 8c,11c,13t-20:3 compared to 8c,11c,14c-20:3 was investigated. The conversion level of [1-(14)C]8c,11c,13t-20:3 into [1-(14)C]5c,8c,11c,13t-20:4 was 10 times lower than that of [1-(14)C]8c,11c,14c-20:3 into [1-(14)C]5c,8c,11c,14c-20:4 at low substrate concentrations and 4 times lower at the saturating substrate level, suggesting that conjugated 20:3 is a poor substrate for the delta5-desaturase.

Abstract
Production of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) by the intestinal bacteria of dogs and cats was demonstrated by incubating their feces with linoleic acid (LA). CLA accumulated once, and then decreased with time. The numbers of LA-hydrogenating bacteria in the intestines appeared to decrease greatly with the ages of dogs and cats. As a major product of LA biohydrogenation, trans-vaccenic acid (t-VA) was identified. Most CLA and t-VA were readily solubilized by shaking the incubation mixture with bovine serum albumin, which strongly supports the presumption that CLA and t-VA are mostly formed on the outer surface of cell membrane, or excreted to the outer cell surface. This result suggests that CLA and t-VA can readily be absorbed through the large intestines. Triacylglycerol and phospholipid were shown to be hydrolyzed to free fatty acids by fecal bacteria, which is critical for biohydrogenation to occur, because esterified LA is not hydrogenated. However, since the ability of intestinal bacteria to produce CLA is probably low, it is desirable to augment CLA production.

Abstract
Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens A38 inocula were inhibited by as little as 15 microM linoleic acid (LA), but growing cultures tolerated 10-fold more LA before growth was inhibited. Growing cultures did not produce significant amounts of cis-9, trans-11 conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) until the LA concentration was high enough to inhibit biohydrogenation, growth was inhibited, and lysis was enhanced. Washed-cell suspensions that were incubated anaerobically with 350 microM LA converted most of the LA to hydrogenated products, and little CLA was detected. When the washed-cell suspensions were incubated aerobically, biohydrogenation was inhibited, CLA production was at least twofold greater, and CLA persisted. The LA isomerase reaction was very rapid, but the LA isomerase did not recycle like a normal enzyme to catalyze more substrate. Cells that were preincubated with CLA lost their ability to produce more CLA from LA, and the CLA accumulation was directly proportional (r(2) = 0.98) to the initial cell density. Growing cells were as sensitive to CLA as LA, the LA isomerase and reductases of biohydrogenation were linked, and free CLA was not released. Because growing cultures of B. fibrisolvens A38 did not produce significant amounts of CLA until the LA concentration was high, biohydrogenation was arrested, and the cell density had declined, the flow of CLA from the rumen may be due to LA-dependent bacterial inactivation, death, or lysis.

Abstract
Commercial cheese products were analyzed for their composition and content of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) isomers. The total lipids were extracted from cheese using petroleum ether/diethyl ether and methylated using NaOCH3. The fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) were separated by gas chromatography (GC), using a 100-m polar capillary column, into nine minor peaks besides that of the major rumenic acid, 9c,11t-octadecadienoic acid (18:2), and were attributed to 19 CLA isomers. By using silver ion-high performance liquid chromatography (Ag+ -HPLC), CLA isomers were resolved into seven trans,trans (5-9%), three cis/trans (10-13%), and five cis,cis (<1%) peaks, totaling 15, in addition to that of the 9c,11t-18:2 (78-84%). The FAME of total cheese lipids were fractionated by semipreparative Ag+ -HPLC and converted to their 4,4-dimethyloxazoline derivatives after hydrolysis to free fatty acids. The geometrical configuration of the CLA isomers was confirmed by GC-direct deposition-Fourier transform infrared, and their double bond positions were established by GC-electron ionization mass spectrometry. Reconstructed mass spectral ion profiles of the m + 2 allylic ion and the m + 3 ion (where m is the position of the second double bond in the parent conjugated fatty acid) were used to identify the minor CLA isomers in cheese. Cheese contained 7t,9c-18:2 and the previously unreported 11t,13c-18:2 and 12c,14t-18:2, and their trans,trans and cis,cis geometric isomers. Minor amounts of 8,10-, and 10,12-18:2 were also found. The predicted elution orders of the different CLA isomers on long polar capillary GC and Ag+ -HPLC columns are also presented.

Abstract
We examined the effect of intake of fresh pasture on concentrations of conjugated linoleic acid in milk fat. Sixteen Holstein cows were paired and divided into either the control group or the grazing group. The study involved initial, transition, and final periods. During the initial period, all cows consumed a total mixed diet. Cows in the control group were fed the total mixed diet throughout the study, and cows in the grazing group were gradually adjusted to a diet consisting of intensively managed pasture. Performance of cows in the grazing group was significantly reduced from that of cows in the control group during the final period (dry matter intake, 19% less; milk yield, 29.6 vs. 44.1 kg/d; and live weight, 40 kg less). During the initial period, when both groups were consuming a total mixed diet, concentrations of conjugated linoleic acid in milk fat were similar (X = 5.1 mg/g of milk fat). As the grazing group was gradually adjusted to pasture, concentrations of conjugated linoleic acid in milk gradually increased. During the final period, when cows in the grazing group were consuming a diet consisting of pasture only, conjugated linoleic acid concentrations in the milk fat were doubled (10.9 vs. 4.6 mg/g of milk fat). Furthermore, results showed the individual consistency of the milk fat content of conjugated linoleic acid over time but also demonstrated substantial variation among individual cows within treatment groups. Overall, this study indicated that the concentration of conjugated linoleic acid in milk fat is enhanced by dietary intake of fresh pasture.

Abstract
Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a naturally occurring anticarcinogen found in dairy products, is an intermediary product of ruminal biohydrogenation of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Our objective was to determine the effect of different dietary oils, which vary in fatty acid composition, on CLA concentrations in milk from lactating dairy cows. Twelve Holstein cows were randomly assigned to a 3 x 3 Latin square design. Dietary treatments were the addition (53 g/kg dietary dry matter) of peanut oil (high oleic acid), sunflower oil (high linoleic acid) and linseed oil (high linolenic acid). Each treatment period was 2 wk, and milk samples were collected on the last 4 d of each period. Milk yield (34.2 +/- 1.3 kg/d) and milk fat (2.25 +/- 0.06%) were not different among treatments. Milk protein during the sunflower oil treatment (mean, 3.44% protein) was significantly higher (P < 0.01) than during the other treatments. Milk fat concentration of CLA during the sunflower oil treatment was significantly different from other treatments (P < 0.001) and approximately 500% greater than typically observed when cows consume traditional diets. CLA concentrations (mg/g of milk fat) were 13.3, 24.4 and 16.7 during peanut oil, sunflower oil and linseed oil treatment, respectively. CLA concentration in milk fat can be enhanced by the addition of polyunsaturated fatty acids to the diet, especially oils high in linoleic acid.

Abstract
Milk analysis is receiving increased attention. Milk contains conjugated octadecadienoic acids (18:2) purported to be anticarcinogenic, low levels of essential fatty acids, and trans fatty acids that increase when essential fatty acids are increased in dairy rations. Milk and rumen fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) were prepared using several acid- (HCl, BF3, acetyl chloride, H2SO4) or base-catalysts (NaOCH3, tetramethylguanidine, diazomethane), or combinations thereof. All acid-catalyzed procedures resulted in decreased cis/trans (delta 9c,11t-18:2) and increased trans/trans (delta 9t,11t-18:2) conjugated dienes and the production of allylic methoxy artifacts. The methoxy artifacts were identified by gas-liquid chromatography (Gl.C)-mass spectroscopy. The base-catalyzed procedures gave no isomerization of conjugated dienes and no methoxy artifacts, but they did not transesterify N-acyl lipids such as sphingomyelin, and NaOCH3 did not methylate free fatty acids. In addition, reaction with tetramethylguanidine coextracted material with hexane that interfered with the determination of the short-chain FAME by GLC. Acid-catalyzed methylation resulted in the loss of about 12% total conjugated dienes, 42% recovery of the delta 9c,11t-18:2 isomer, a fourfold increase in delta 9t,11t-18:2, and the formation of methoxy artifacts, compared with the base-catalyzed reactions. Total milk FAME showed significant infrared (IR) absorption due to conjugated dienes at 985 and 948 cm-1. The IR determination of total trans content of milk FAME was not fully satisfactory because the 966 cm-1 trans band overlapped with the conjugated diene bands. IR accuracy was limited by the fact that the absorptivity of methyl elaidate, used as calibration standard, was different from those of the other minor trans fatty acids (e.g., dienes) found in milk. In addition, acid-catalyzed reactions produced interfering material that absorbed extensively in the trans IR region. No single method or combination of methods could adequately prepare FAME from all lipid classes in milk or rumen lipids, and not affect the conjugated dienes. The best compromise for milk fatty acids was obtained with NaOCH3 followed by HCl or BF3, or diazomethane followed by NaOCH3, being aware that sphingomyelins are ignored. For rumen samples, the best method was diazomethane followed by NaOCH3.

Abstract
Conjugated dienoic linoleate (CLA), a linoleic acid derivative, has received considerable attention as a chemoprotective agent in the past few years because it has been shown experimentally to inhibit rat mammary tumorigenesis, mouse forestomach neoplasia, and mouse skin carcinogenesis. CLA has several unique structural and functional properties resulting in chemical and physiological effects that are different from those of all-cis, nonconjugated polyunsaturated fatty acids. In turn, these unique qualities appear to modulate cellular processes involved in carcinogenesis. This review will introduce the chemical background of conjugated dienoic linoleate, examine findings describing its chemoprotective qualities, present possible mechanisms of chemoprotection, and correlate the possible significance of dietary CLA modulation to carcinogenesis to humans.

Abstract
Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is a mixture of positional and geometric isomers of linoleic acid, which is found preferentially in dairy products and meat. Preliminary studies indicate that CLA is a powerful anticarcinogen in the rat mammary tumor model with an effective range of 0.1-1% in the diet. This protective effect of CLA is noted even when exposure is limited to the time of weaning to carcinogen administration. The timing of this treatment corresponds to maturation of the mammary gland to the adult stage, suggesting that CLA may have a direct effect in reducing the cancer risk of the target organ. Of the vast number of naturally occurring substances that have been demonstrated to have anticarcinogenic activity in experimental models, all but a handful of them are of plant origin. Conjugated linoleic acid is unique because it is present in food from animal sources, and its anticancer efficacy is expressed at concentrations close to human consumption levels.

Abstract
Alcoholics admitted for detoxification were entered into a double blind placebo controlled trial of oral supplementation with an antioxidant cocktail (vitamin E, beta carotene, vitamin C and selenium) in order to determine the effect of this supplementation on the rate of resolution of a serum marker of free radical activity and abnormal serum biochemistry. The molar proportion of linoleic acid that was diene conjugated (a marker of free radical activity), was increased in the alcoholics 2.9% +/- 1.2 (mean +/- S.D.) compared to normal controls 1.3% +/- 0.6 (P < 0.0001) but fell at a similar rate during the first week of hospitalisation in supplemented and placebo-treated patients with a mean fall of 53.7% (+/- 16.4 S.D.) in the placebo group and 56.0% (+/- 23.7) (P = 0.32, NS) in the antioxidant supplemented group. Similarly, there was no difference in the rate of fall between serum aspartate transaminase (AST) concentration in the two groups: the placebo group falling by a mean of 68.9% (+/- 35.2) and the antioxidant supplemented group falling by 70.1% (+/- 10.0) (P = 0.41, NS) over the first 7 days of hospitalization. Alcoholics had low serum concentrations of vitamin E compared with controls (15.6 mg/l +/- 6.2 S.D.) which rose more in the supplemented group over the period of a week (7.7 mg/l +/- 4.4 to 21.6 mg/l +/- 5.1) (a mean rise of 180.5%) compared with the placebo group (8.6 mg/l +/- 6.8 to 9.6 mg/l +/- 5.7)--a mean rise of 11.6% (P = 0.006).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Lipid peroxidation may play a role in the pathogenesis of the haemolytic-uraemic syndrome (HUS). Thirteen children with the post-enteropathic form of HUS were studied using conjugated diene lipids as markers of in vivo lipid peroxidation. Levels of total conjugated diene lipids and 9,11-linoleic acid, the principal conjugated diene in human plasma, were greater in the acute phase of this disorder than in controls. The ratio of plasma vitamin E to lipid was lower than that in children with other renal diseases, and the expected positive correlation between vitamin E and lipids did not hold for HUS patients. These data provide further evidence of lipid peroxidation in HUS and a disturbance in the metabolism of the principal lipid-bound anti-oxidant vitamin E.

Abstract
Free-radical-mediated lipid peroxidation has become closely associated with destructive biochemical processes and, more recently, with disease. Its potential survival value may be overlooked.

Abstract
It has been previously reported that the main diene-conjugated fatty acid in human plasma is a non-oxygen containing linoleic acid isomer (PL-9, 11-LA'). It has also been proposed that this isomer can be used as a specific marker of free radical-mediated lipid peroxidation in humans. Here we report that the in vitro induction of lipid peroxidation in human and rat blood with either UV irradiation or phenylhydrazine failed to increase the plasma levels of this isomer. The induction of lipid peroxidation in vivo in rats pretreated with either phenylhydrazine or bromotrichloromethane also failed to increase the plasma levels of this isomer. These findings demonstrate that PL-9, 11-LA' cannot be used as an in vivo marker of free radical-mediated lipid peroxidation in rats and casts doubts on its validity as a specific marker in humans.

Abstract
A method is described for the measurement of a diene-conjugated derivative of linoleic acid, 18:2(9,11), in the phospholipid fraction of serum. The method is based on enzymatic hydrolysis, solid-phase sample preparation, and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Phospholipid esterified 18:2(9,11) can be detected in serum from normal individuals, and a provisional normal range is provided. The possible origins of 18:2(9,11) and the potential application of this method to the measurement of free radical damage to linoleic acid in vivo is discussed.

Abstract
Reduction of an alpha, beta-unsaturated ketone to the corresponding saturated ketone in a 2-benzylidene-3-ketocoumaran derivative has been investigated. Reductase activity resides in the cytosolic fraction of liver, lung and kidney. Rat and human blood also contain significant reductase activity. Hepatic reductase activity was high in guinea-pigs followed by hamsters, rabbits, rats and mice. The substrate had an apparent Km and Vmax of 5.6 microM and 1.3 nmol/min per mg protein, respectively. The reduction was dependent upon NADPH having an apparent Km of 14.8 microM and a Vmax of 1.0 nmol/min per mg protein. Only the A side hydrogen of NADPH was incorporated into the reduced product. The reaction was inhibited by cyanide, and sulphydryl reagents. Phenobarbital did not induce the activity in rats.

Abstract
Both alpha-tocopherolquinol and alpha-tocopherolquinone were found in 56 of 93 strains of microorganisms examined. Organisms that contained these compounds included the single example of a eucaryotic alga, a Euglena, and a cyanobacterium (blue-green alga), 22 of 32 genera of bacteria, and 9 genera of yeasts. In the bacteria and yeasts the levels of quinone and hydroquinone were nearly equal and averaged about 3 nmol of each compound g-1 of packed cells. Included among the bacteria that contained these compounds were three examples from the newly proposed kingdom of Archaebacteriae. Those microorganisms that did not contain alpha-tocopherolquinol or alpha-tocopherolquinone tended to fall into two groups. One group consisted of gram-positive, anaerobic or facultative bacteria with a low content of guanine and cytosine, and the second group encompassed all of the filamentous microorganisms studied. No metabolic function is known for alpha-tocopherolquinol or its quinone other than as a cofactor in the biohydrogenation of unsaturated fatty acids that can be carried out by only a few organisms.
