Glutamine oxidation maintains the TCA cycle and cell survival during impaired mitochondrial pyruvate transport
Two different meta-analyses from 2017 stated CLA supplements increased certain inflammatory markers, including c-reactive protein (CRP) and tumor necrosis factor- (TNF-).[13,14] This is particularly disturbing when you consider the fact that chronic, systemic inflammation is a key factor in a wide array of diseases including: Diabetes Heart Disease Metabolic syndrome Rheumatoid arthritis Alzheimers Parkinsons Irritable Bowel Syndrome Lupus Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder (COPD) And more Additional research also suggests that consuming large doses of CLA supplements can lead to fat buildup in the liver, which is an indicator of diabetes and metabolic syndrome.[15,16] CLA also has been documented to lead to other less severe side effects including: Diarrhea Nausea Stomach pain Flatulence ( something we all want from our weight loss supplement )[17] To top it off, CLA supplements may also lead to insulin resistance and reduce levels of HDL ("good") cholesterol.[18,19] Questionable Stimulants The list of new designer stimulants that enter the supplement industry is a revolving door of questionable ingredients that could be described as gray area at best

Whether this protective effect involves interference with HG-induced Akt2 activation or AGE formation requires further investigation
