Involvement of the γ Isoform of cPLA<sub>2</sub> in the Biosynthesis of Bioactive <i>N-</i>Acylethanolamines

Involvement of the γ Isoform of cPLA<sub>2</sub> in the Biosynthesis of Bioactive <i>N-</i>Acylethanolamines

Arachidonylethanolamide (anandamide) acts as an endogenous ligand of cannabinoid receptors, while other <i>N-</i>acylethanolamines (NAEs), such as palmitylethanolamide and oleylethanolamide, show analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and appetite-suppressing effects through other receptors. In m...
