Abstract

Background: Conjugated Linoleic Acid [CLA] is suggested as a novel drug to improve obesity. Objectives:The aim of this study was to elucidate the possible role of CLA in ameliorating the pathophysiology in obese rats and modulate its immune function.Methods: Forty adult male albino rats of local strain, weighing [120-160] grams each, were used.Rats were randomly divided into five equal experimenta...
