Abstract
Obesity is usually associated with disturbance of the functions the body systems, particularly the immune system.
CLA is one of the PUFA that is found in dairy products and ruminant meats that has powerful anti-adiposity functions in both humans and animals.
The aim of this study was to elucidate the effect of diet-induced experimental obesity on some immunological parameters in male albino rats and the potential immune modulator effect of CLA.
The experimental design of this study involved 40 adult male albino rats that were divided into 5 equal groups:
group 1 (Control group):
group 2 (CLA-supplemented group): the rats were supplemented orally with 1.5% CLA for 3 months.
group 3 (Obese group): obesity was experimentally induced by feeding the rats with High Fat Diet (HFD) for 3 months.
group 4 (CLA-prophylactic obese group): the rats were supplemented with HFD concomitant with 1.5% CLA orally for 3 months.
group 5 (CLA-treated obese group): the rats were rendered obese as in group 3, thereafter they were supplemented with 1.5% CLA orally for 3 months.
