Methodology
Meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials measuring circulating leptin after marine omega-3 supplementation.
Key Findings
Omega-3 supplementation produced a small reduction in circulating leptin in participants with normal weight but effects were inconsistent in obesity.
Conclusions
Omega-3 effects on leptin are modest and body-composition dependent.
Limitations
Substantial heterogeneity; leptin assays differed across trials.
Supplements Studied
Omega-3 supplementation produced a small reduction in circulating leptin
Outcomes Measured
