Abstract:

Trans-10,cis-12conjugated linoleic acid (t10,c12-CLA) is a type of isomer of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), and it possesses various biological functions, such as anti-obesity, anti-inflammation, and anti-diabetes. The biological functions and signaling pathways of t10, c12-CLA have shown extensive application prospects and significant value in multiple different fields. However, the mechanism of action of t10, c12-CLA has not yet been fully elucidated. The author has comprehensively reviewed the research results of t10, c12-CLA in livestock and poultry, with a particular focus on the effects on key aspects such as oocyte development, function of mammary epithelial cells, muscle growth, regulation of milk fat content, regulation of fat metabolism, immune function, and lipid regulation. Furthermore, the molecular mechanism of t10, c12-CLA was explored, aiming to provide a reference basis for in-depth research on related issues in the livestock industry and to promote the development of the livestock sector.

Key words: trans-10,cis-12 conjugated linoleic acid; biological functions; livestock and poultry; molecular mechanism
