Application

Stearoyl ethanolamide (NSE) has been used as standard for quantifying in house synthesized NSE using thin layer chromatography.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Most abundant fatty acid ethanolamide produced by PLD hydrolysis of cell membrane phospholipids.

General description

Stearoyl ethanolamide, also called N-stearoylethanolamine (NSE) is present ubiquitously in all mammals. It exists in three isoforms when synthesized. It has therapeutic potential to modulate immune and inflammatory responses. It also possess antioxidative and membranoprotective functionality. NSE molecules pack in tail-to-tail fashion in lipid bilayer.

N-acylethanolamines (NAEs) are endogenous compounds that regulate inflammation and pain. These include the cannabinoid ligand anandamide (AEA) and the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α ligand palmitoylethanolamide (PEA). Little is known as to the levels of NAEs in pain states in human, particularly

Given the recent demonstration that oleoylethanolamide (OEA), a cannabinoid receptor-inactive N-acylethanolamine, decreases food intake by activating the nuclear receptor PPARalpha (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha) in the periphery, we here evaluated the effects of both saturated and unsaturated C18 N-acylethanolamides (C18:0;
