The chemiluminescent response of conjugated linoleic acid isomers (CLAs), linoleic acid (LA) and methyl linoleate (LAME) against the prooxidant t-butyl hydroperoxide (tBHP) was analyzed. The c9, t11-CLA and t10, c12-CLA isomers showed significant photoemission at the highest concentration used, while photoemission was not detected at any concentration of LA and LAME analyzed. These results show that CLAs are more susceptible to peroxidation than LA and LAME. Likewise, the effect of CLA, LA and LAME on lipid peroxidation of triglycerides rich in C20:5 omega3 and C22:6 omega3 (Tg omega3-PUFAs) was investigated. For that, chemiluminescence produced by triglycerides in the presence of tBHP, previously incubated with different concentrations of CLAs, LA and LAME (from 1 to 200 mM) was registered for 60 min. Triglycerides in the presence of t-BHP produced a peak of light emission (3151+/-134 RLUs) 5 min after addition. CLAs produced significant inhibition on photoemission, t10, c12-CLA being more effective than the c9, t11-CLA isomer. LA and LAME did not have an effect on lipid peroxidation of Tg omega3-PUFAs. CLA isomers, LA and LAME were also investigated for free radical scavenging properties against the stable radical (DPPH). Both CLA isomers reacted and quenched DPPH at all tested levels (from 5 to 25 mM), while LA and LAME did not show radical quenching activity even at the highest concentration tested. These data indicate that CLAs would provide protection against free radicals, but LA and LAME cannot.
