Abstract cis ‐9 , trans ‐11 Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is one of the most extensively studied CLA isomers due to its multiple isomer‐specific effects. However, molecular mechanisms ‐9, synthesis in ruminant mammary gland are still not clearly understood. This process may be mediated, a certain extent, by C18:1 regulated stearoyl‐CoA desaturase‐1 (SCD1) and/or syntrophic proteins. study aimed investigate effects TVA on SCD1‐mediated MAC‐T cells and potential mechanism. Results showed that...
