Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is a collective term for positional and geometric isomers of octadecadienoic (linoleic) acid found primarily in milk and dairy products of ruminant animals. It has been reported to exhibit the antiatherosclerotic, anticarcinogenic properties and other beneficial effects on human health. As CLA content of milk fat reflects the amount available for absorption from the small intestine, there are several dietary means of protecting CLA to total microbial saturation in rumen, and thus enhancing its content in milk. These procedures and the favourable effects of CLA in live organisms are briefly reviewed in the article
