In a study published in the journal Nature, researchers at the University of California at Irvine in the United States reported discovering how the fatty acid oleylethanolamide (OEA)- found naturally in the diet- bonds with cells to send the body a signal to stop eating.
The researchers fed high- fat diets to two groups of mice, one normal and one group which had had cell receptors that interact with OEA genetically removed. The fat mice were then treated with OEA for four weeks, causing the normal mice to east less and lose weight. The mice without cell receptors continued to east and gain weight. Researchers hope the findings may be used to treat obesity in humans.
