Cis-9-conjugated, trans-11-conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is known for its positive activities on human health. The synthesis of cis-9, trans-11 CLA in mammary glands generally thought to be catalyzed by stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (SCD1), but this has not been rigorously established. In study, we hypothesized that the inhibition SCD1 (by CAY10566) would block bovine alveolar cells (MAC-T) cells.
