Abstract

N-docosahexaenoyl ethanolamine (DHEA; also known as synaptamide) binds to both the CB1 and CB2 cannabinoid receptors and has anti-inflammatory properties in vitro. However, the in vivo effects of DHEA are unknown. Therefore, this study was designed to understand the effects of DHEA in models of pain and inflammation in mice.
