Notes: Oleoyl ethanolamide-d2 (OEA-d2) is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of OEA (Item No. 90265) by GC- or LC-MS. OEA is an analogue of the endocannabinoid arachidonoyl ethanolamide (AEA) found in brain tissue and in chocolate.{5291} It is one of the long chain fatty acid ethanolamides that accumulates rapidly in infarcted tissue, but its biosynthesis is reduced in the intestine of rats following food deprivation.{2874,9302} OEA is an endogenous, potent agonist for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα), exhibiting an EC50 value of 120 nM in a transactivation assay.{11423} Systemic administration of OEA suppresses food intake and reduces weight gain in rats (10 mg/kg intraperitoneally) and PPARα wild-type mice, but not in PPARα knockout mice.{9302,11423} These data indicate that OEA regulates food intake by a PPARα-mediated mechanism.
