Use of conjugated fatty acid glycerides, which are formed by converting conjugated fatty acids having conjugated double bond(s) in the molecule into glycerol esters, to more effectively exert the inherent physiological effects of the conjugated fatty acids and control the bitterness or astringency of the conjugated fatty acids, thereby making the conjugated fatty acids suitable for oral intake. These conjugated glycerides (for example, glycerides having conjugated linoleic acid in the molecule) have effects of improving lipid metabolism, preventing obesity, and preventing and treating hypertension. L'invention concerne l'utilisation de glycérides d'acide gras conjugués. On prépare ces glycérides en convertissant des acides gras conjugués dont la molécule comporte une ou plusieurs double(s) liaison(s) conjuguées, en esters de glycérol, afin de mieux déployer les effets physiologiques inhérents aux acides gras conjugués et de lutter contre l'amertume ou l'astringence des acides gras conjugués, de manière à les rendre acceptables pour une administration par voie orale. Ces glycérides conjugués (par exemple glycérides comprenant un acide linoléique conjugué dans la molécule) ont les effets suivants : amélioration du métabolisme lipidique, prévention de l'obésité, et prévention et traitement de l'hypertension.
