FEATURED CNP RESEARCH SUMMARY

Food for mood: relevance of nutritional Omega-3 Fatty acids for depression and anxiety

This 2018 review looks at the importance of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in the prevention and treatment of neuropsychiatric diseases, with a particular focus on depression and anxiety. Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is an example of an omega-3 PUFA that has been receiving attention for its relevance to many brain diseases. Moreover, Larrieu & Layé discuss the mechanisms in which these omega-3 PUFAs can modulate neurobiological processes involved in the pathophysiology of anxiety and depression. It is mentioned that high concentrations of polyunsaturated fatty acids are present in the brain, which may be explained by PUFA’s possibly protective or corrective role in this anatomical region. The authors debate on the involvement of the sensing activity of free fatty acid receptors, and the activity of the PUFA-derived endocannabinoid system and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis.
