Omega-3s may affect mood, personalityPosted Mar 6th 2006 4:14PM by Nick VagnoniFiled under: Science, FishResearch from the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center suggests that levels of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty
acids, commonly found in fish, may have effects on depression levels, personality and behavior. A recent study examined
the blood levels of omega-3s in 106 healthy volunteers and found that those with lower levels of omega-3 fatty acids
were more likely to be impulsive, have a negative outlook and report mild or moderate depression. The results were
based on "three accepted tests for depression, impulsiveness and personality," according to a UPMC press release. The release also reminds that the American
Heart Association recommends two servings of fish per week.
