Biochem/physiol Actions

Linoleoyl ethanolamide (LE), a fatty acid ethanolamide, is present in sake lees. It possesses anti-inflammatory effects by preventing nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) signaling. LE is considered a beneficial therapeutic agent for contact dermatitis.

Preparation Note

To change the solvent, evaporate the ethanol under a gentle stream of nitrogen and immediately add the solvent of choice.

A sensitive and selective liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC\MS\MS) method has been developed for the simultaneous quantification in human plasma of the endocannabinoid anandamide (AEA) and three other related ethanolamides, linoleoyl ethanolamide (LEA), oleoyl ethanolamide (OEA), and palmitoyl ethanolamide

This study was undertaken to investigate the link between dietary fat content and intestinal levels of anorectic N-acylethanolamines (NAEs), including oleoylethanolamide (OEA), palmitoylethanolamide (PEA), and linoleoylethanolamide (LEA). Male rats were fed high-fat diets (HFDs) with variable percentages of fat [20-45%

Anandamide and the other N-acylethanolamines, e.g. oleoylethanolamide (OEA), palmitoylethanolamide (PEA), and linoleoylethanolamide (LEA), may be formed by several enzymatic pathways from their precursors, which are the N-acylated ethanolamine phospholipids. The exact enzymatic pathways involved in their biosynthesis in specific tissues
