9(E),11(E)-Conjugated linoleic acid (9(E),11(E)-CLA) refers to a family of 8 geometric isomers of linoleic acid in which the two double bonds are contiguous. 9(E),11(E)-CLA is the 9,11 all-trans isomer of linoleic acid. CLA was originally identified in ground beef, but it is also present in a variety of dairy products. CLA is effective at reducing mammary tumors in rats at levels as low as 0.1% by weight of their diet. [Matreya, LLC. Catalog No. 1181]
(9E,11E)-9,11-Octadecadienoic Acid is a by product during the synthesis of Rumenic Acid (R701590), a trans fatty acid that may potentially reduce the risk of cancer and cardiovascular diseases. It may also prevent disease processes that lead to chronic inflammation, atherosclerosis, and diabetes.
ChEBI: 9E,11E-octadecadienoic acid is an octadeca-9,11-dienoic acid having 9-trans,11-trans-stereochemistry. It has a role as an apoptosis inducer, an antineoplastic agent, an anti-inflammatory agent, an antiatherogenic agent, a bacterial xenobiotic metabolite and a human metabolite.
