Review Meta AnalysisDoes omega-3 fatty acids supplementation affect circulating leptin levels? A systematic review and meta-analysis on randomized controlled clinical trials.
Omega-3 fatty acids have attracted researchers for their effect on circulatory hormone-like peptides affecting weight control. ⋯ Omega-3 supplementation might moderately decrease circulatory leptin levels only among nonobese adults. RCTs with longer follow-up period, using higher doses for obese adults and exploring the effect in different genders, are needed to replicate our results.
