TRANS-10, CIS-12 CONJUGATED LINOLEIC ACID ISOMER FOR THE TREATMENT OF DIABETES, THE REDUCTION OF BODY FAT, IMPROVEMENT OF INSULIN SENSITIVITY, AND REDUCTION OF HYPERCHOLESTEROLEMIA, AND TREATMENT OF ATHEROSCLEROSIS

摘要

A composition for treating insulin- or non-insulin-dependent diabetes, reducing body fat, improving insulin sensitivity, reducing hyperglycemia, and reducing hypercholesterolemia with conjugated linoleic acid isomer trans-10, cis-12 alone, or in combination with any form of a trivalent chromium complex is disclosed. A method of treating a subject suffering from insulin-dependent diabetes by administering a composition that includes conjugated linoleic acid isomer trans-10, cis-12 alone, or in combination with any form of a trivalent chromium complex is similarly provided. The administration of a composition containing an effective dose of conjugated linoleic acid isomer trans-10, cis-12 alone, or in combination with any form of a trivalent chromium complex for the treatment of obesity is likewise provided.
