Suppression of Cardiac Myocyte Hypertrophy by Conjugated Linoleic Acid
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) refers to a naturally occurring mixture of positional and geometric isomers of linoleic acid. Evidence suggests that CLA is a dietary constituent and nutraceutical with anti-cancer, insulin-sensitizing, immunomodulatory, weight-partitioning, and cardioprotective properties. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of intervention with CLA on cardiac hypertrophy. In vitro, CLA prevented indicators of cardiomyocyte hypertrophy elicited by endothelin-1, including cell size augmentation, protein synthesis, and fetal gene activation. Similar anti-hypertrophic effects of CLA were observed in hypertrophy induced by angiotensin II, fibroblast growth factor, and mechanical strain. CLA may inhibit hypertrophy through activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs). CLA stimulated PPAR activity in cardiomyocytes, and the anti-hypertrophic effects of CLA were blocked by genetic and pharmacological inhibitors of PPAR isoforms alpha and gamma. CLA may disrupt hypertrophic signaling by stimulating diacylglycerol kinase zeta, which decreases availability of diacylglycerol and thereby inhibits the protein kinase Cepsilon pathway. In vivo, dietary CLA supplementation significantly reduced blood pressure and cardiac hypertrophy in spontaneously hypertensive heart failure rats. These data suggest that dietary supplementation with CLA may be a viable strategy to prevent pathological cardiac hypertrophy, a major risk factor for heart failure.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
