Research Papers that Mention the Interaction
“Recent findingsRecent studies have demonstrated that ω-3 fatty acids modulate changes in the concentrations and actions of several orexigenic and anorexigenic neuropeptides in the brain, including neuropeptide Y , α-melanocyte stimulating hormone and the neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine.”
Omega-3 fatty acids and anorexia“We hypothesize that omega-3FA modulates up-regulation of hypothalamic orexigenic neuropeptide Y ( NPY ) and down-regulation of anorexigenic alpha melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH) and serotonin 1B receptors (5-HT(1B)-receptors) in tumor-bearing rats.”
Omega-3 fatty acids improve appetite in cancer anorexia, but tumor resecting restores it.
