Vitamin D and the omega‐3 fatty acids control serotonin synthesis and action, part 2: relevance for ADHD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and impulsive behavior

Abstract: Serotonin regulates a wide variety of brain functions and behaviors. Here, we synthesize previous findings that serotonin regulates executive function, sensory gating, and social behavior and that attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and impulsive behavior all share in common defects in these functions. It has remained unclear why supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D improve cognitive function and behavior in these brain disorders. Here, we propose mechan… Show more

“…Similar experiments provided hints regarding the role of serotonin in maintaining the mental balance and avoiding depression [61], but none of these studies successfully dissected the exact relation. Recently, association of compounds such as vitamin D, 2 marine omega-3 fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), with serotonin release and control has been reported, confirming their indirect impact on mental disorders [62].…”

“…18,19 Ein af þeim tilgát-um sem settar hafa verið fram til að útskýra þessar niðurstöður er að D-vítamín gegni mikilvaegu hlutverki við myndun á taugaboð-efninu serótónín, sem meðal annars tekur þátt í ferlum tengdum félagsfaerni og vitsmunagetu. 20 Einkenni geðrofssjúkdóma geta meðal annars falið í sér skerta vitsmunagetu og tilhneigingu til að draga sig í hlé félagslega. Ómega-3 fitusýrur, sér í lagi eicosapentaenoic sýra (EPA) og docosahexaenoic sýra (DHA), hafa einnig verið tengdar við framleiðslu serótóníns.…”
