Possible Interaction: Fatty Acids, Omega-3 and Serotonin

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.
Current opinion in clinical nutrition and metabolic care  •  2005  |  View Paper
We find that increased levels of serotonin upregulate neuronal production, as does maintaining animals in an enriched (versus deprived) environment or augmenting their diet with omega-3 fatty acids ; increased levels of nitric oxide, on the other hand, decrease the rate of neurogenesis.

We found that ω-3 fatty acids could prevent serotonin receptor-induced MAPK activation in hippocampal slice preparations.
