Oleoylethanolamide (OEA) is synthesized in the intestines. Its synthesis is increased with food intake and decreased with fasting. OEA has been shown to have anorexic properties, meaning it decreases food intake.
A study done on rats showed that OEA's ability to decrease appetite did not change plasma levels of various intestinal hormones involved in satiety, such as ghrelin and CCK, showing OEA works independently of these hormones.
OEA is also an activator of the Peroxisome Proliferator-Activator Receptor Alpha (PPARalpha)
Activation of PPARalpha by OEA will cause an increase in fat oxidation along with a decrease in fat storage, creating an ideal environment for fat loss.
If all that weren't enough, OEA can also lower lower blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
