Oleoyl Ethanolamide-d2 Cayman Chemical Item Number 10007823 Description Oleoyl ethanolamide-d2 (OEA-d2) contains two deuterium atoms at the 11 position. It is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of OEA by GC- or LC-mass spectrometry. OEA is an analogue of the endocannabinoid arachidonoyl ethanolamide (AEA) found in brain tissue and in chocolate.1↗ It is one of the long chain fatty acid ethanolamides that accumulates rapidly in infarcted tissue,2↗ but its biosynthesis is reduced in the intestine of rats following food deprivation.3↗ OEA is an endogenous, potent agonist for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα), exhibiting an EC50 value of 120 nM in a transactivation assay.4↗ Systemic administration of OEA suppresses food intake and reduces weight gain in rats (10 mg/kg intraperitoneally) and PPARα wild-type mice, but not in PPARα knockout mice.3↗,4↗ These data indicate that OEA regulates food intake by a PPARα-mediated mechanism.
