Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid (Pufa) and Impurities

<p>Applications Anandamide is an endogenous cannabinoid and TRPV1 receptor agonist. Findings suggest that endocannabinoids such as anandamide may help cause runner’s high, the feeling of euphoria, reduced anxiety and lessened ability to feel pain associated with exercise.<br>References Devane, W., et al.: Sci., 258, 1946 (1992); Ryberg, E., et al.: Brit.

<p>Stability Light and Temperature Sensitive<br>Applications Arachidonic Acid is an essential fatty acid and a precursor in the biosynthesis of prostaglandins, thromboxanes, and leukotrienes. Arachidonic Acid occurs in liver, brain, glandular organs, and depot fats of animals, in small amounts in human depot fats, and Arachidonic Acid is also a constituent of animal phosphatides.<br>References Kurosawa, T., et al.: J.

<p>Stability Light Sensitive, Temperature Sensitive<br>Applications Arachidonic Acid-d8 is the deuterated form of Arachidonic Acid (A765000), which is an essential fatty acid and a precursor in biosynthesis of prostaglandins, thromboxanes, and leukotrienes. Arachidonic Acid occurs in the liver, brain, glandular organs, and depot fats of animals, in small amounts in human depot fats, and it is also a constituent of animal phosphatides.<br>References Kurosawa, T., et al.: J.

<p>Applications N-​Oleoylethanolamide is an agonist of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α (PPAR-​α). N-​Oleoylethanolamide generates an intestinal signal that stimulates central dopamine activity establishing a link between caloric-​homeostatic and hedonic-​homeostatic controllers. Oleoylethanolamide has been implicated as the molecular mechanism associated with gastric bypass success. N-​Oleoylethanolamide is a selective GPR55 agonist.<br>References Sasso, O., et. al.: Pain, 154, 350 (2013); Begg, D.P., Woods, S.C.: Cell Met., 18, 459 (2013); Chem. and Eng.
