activation. Similarly, Chen et al. (2004) suggested CLA suppresses LPS induced-NFκB<br />

activation in RAW264.7 macrophages. However, no published studies have linked CLA-<br />

induced insulin resistance to NFκB activation in adipocytes. Our preliminary findings<br />

that trans-10, cis-12 CLA induces massive secretion of IL-6 and IL-8 prior to<br />

downregulation of PPARγ and suppression of glucose uptake in primary cultures of<br />

human of adipocyte (Brown et al. 2004), suggests that CLA decreases TG deposition via<br />

NFκB activation in adipocytes. Thus, the focus of this dissertation research is to examine<br />

the relationship between inflammation induced <strong>by</strong> CLA and LPS, and insulin resistance<br />

in primary cultures of newly differentiated human adipocytes.<br />
