Useful olive oil Already for a long time researchersnoticed that after eating the cells of the mucous membrane of the duodenum and the upper part of the small intestine are activated and produce a substance called oleletanolamide. This substance transmits to the brain a signal that the body. However, what is causing the signal chain has not been studied so far. Therefore, a team of researchers led by Gary Schwartz of Yeshiva University in New York tested various nutrients in rats and observed the reaction of mucosal cells. Result: the formation of oleletane amide was not caused by proteins or carbohydrates, but exclusively fat. In addition, the reaction occurred only if the emulsion contained oleic acid. This fatty acid interacted directly with the cells of the intestinal mucosa and started the production of olethaletanolamide. From this discovery it follows that this mechanism represents a natural control of appetite, which helps to avoid overeating. That many people abuse fatty foods depend on the modern food industry. In this case, it is almost always about saturated fatty acids, which the body's control system does not recognize and does not include the brakes. Now, researchers hope that the use of oleic acid in obesity therapy will yield good results. It is even possible to develop active substances that counteract the destruction of olethaletanolamide and permanently retain a sense of saturation. Source: Culinary Eden.
