This study was conducted to determine effect of CLA and linoleic acid (LA) on cell differentiation, cellular glycerol‐3‐phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH) activity, and FA accumulation in differentiating 3T3‐L1 cells (3 isomers×3 treatment periods×4 doses). The cells were cultured in 24‐well plates for proliferation until confluence. Then they were treated with media containing 0, 10, 35, or 70 mg/L (0, 35, 125, or 250 mmol/L, respectively) of LA, cis 9, trans 11‐or trans 10, cis 12‐CLA during early (day 0–2), intermediate and late (day 3–8), or overall (day 0–8) differentiation periods. Dexamethasone, methyl‐isobutylxanthine, and insulin were supplemented to the media only for the early period to induce the differentiation. On day 8 of postconfluence the cells were harvested for Oil Red O staining, analysis of GPDH activity, and determination of the FA concentration. Cellular LA or CLA was found to accumulate in a dose‐response manner, mainly during the intermediate/late period. Treatment with trans 10, cis 12‐CLA lowered ( P <0.05) GPDH activity and the concentration of FA including palmitic acid (16∶0) and palmitoleic acid (16∶1), especially during the intermediate/late and overall periods, or whenever a high dose of 70 mg/L was applied. This also resulted in a higher ( P <0.05) ratio of saturated FA to monounsaturated FA. Treatment with LA or cis 9, trans 11‐CLA lowered cellular FA only when they applied during the early period at a dose of 70 mg/L. The results demonstrated that the inhibitory effects of CLA on differentiation, GPDH activity, and FA accumulation of 3T3‐L1 cells are dependent on the isomer type, treatment period, and dose.
