Oleoyl ethanolamide (OEA) is an analog of the endocannabinoid AEA found in brain tissue and in chocolate.{5291} It is one of the long chain fatty acid ethanolamides that accumulates rapidly in infarcted tissue,{2874} but its biosynthesis is reduced in the intestine of rats following food deprivation.{9302} OEA is an endogenous, potent agonist for PPARα, exhibiting an EC50 value of 120 nM in a transactivation assay.{11423} 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.{9302,11423} These data indicate that OEA regulates food intake by a PPARα-mediated mechanism.
