February 14, 2023. New research demonstrates that uridine supplementation increases hunger. But, is increasing hunger enough to improve anorexia nervosa treatment?
Key Points:
Uridine is a biological substance that regulates food consumption and feelings of hunger.
While uridine has been shown to increase hunger and food consumption in healthy humans, its effects have not been tested in people with anorexia.
Previous research suggests that uridine alone is unlikely to improve anorexia treatment; additional therapeutic approaches will be needed.
