Good Fats Help Curb Appetite

October 8, 2008: 05:59 PM EST
Unsaturated fats play a key role in making people feel full, says a study from University of California Irvine. Researchers led by Daniele Piomelli, the Louise Turner Arnold Chair in Neurosciences, found previously that oleoylethanolamide (OEA), a compound derived from fat, regulates hunger and body weight. Their latest work found that oleic acid, an unsaturated fatty acid, stimulates production of OEA. Unsaturated fats are in foods such as avocados, nuts and olive oil. The previous studies showed that increasing OEA levels can reduce appetite, produce weight loss and lower blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels. The National Institutes of Health, New York Obesity Research Center, the Skirball Institute of Biomolecular Medicine and the Italian Ministry of Research supported the study.
