Biochem/physiol Actions
Docosahexaenoyl ethanolamide (DHEA) has the ability to block the proliferation of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) cell.
Docosahexaenoyl ethanolamide (DHEA) is a lipid signaling molecule present in brain and retina at concentrations, similar to those for arachidonoyl ethanolamide. DHEA binds to the rat brain CB1 receptor with a Ki of 324 nM. It exhibits anti-inflammatory and organ protective activity. Studies show that docosahexaenoyl ethanolamide is the mediator of neurite growth and synaptogenesis in hippocampal neurons, resulting in enhanced synaptic activity.
