Inhibiting Fatty Acid Amide Hydrolase Ameliorates Enteropathy in Diabetic Mice: A Cannabinoid 1 Receptor Mediated Mechanism [PDF]
Gastrointestinal (GI) dysmotility in diabetics exhibits fecal incontinence or constipation which affects patients’ quality of life. In this study, we aimed to understand the pattern of GI transit in type 1 diabetic (T1D) mice and whether inhibiting ...

Fatty acid amide hydrolase levels in brain linked with threat-related amygdala activation [PDF]
Background: Preclinical evidence suggests that increasing levels of the major endocannabinoid anandamide decreases anxiety and fear responses potentially through its effects in the amygdala.

Identification of fatty acid amide hydrolase as a metastasis suppressor in breast cancer [PDF]
Clinical management of breast cancer (BC) metastasis remains an unmet need as it accounts for 90% of BC-associated mortality. Although the luminal subtype, which represents >70% of BC cases, is generally associated with a favorable outcome, it is ...

Identification of quinolinyl-containing dual soluble epoxide hydrolase/fatty acid amide hydrolase inhibitors with moderate potency towards acetylcholinesterase [PDF]
Using a polypharmacological approach, we designed two different quinolinyl libraries by merging the pharmacophores of three targeted enzymes, fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH), soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH), and acetylcholinesterase (AChE).

Epigenetic regulation of fatty acid amide hydrolase in Alzheimer disease.
ObjectiveAlzheimer disease (AD) is a progressive, degenerative and irreversible neurological disorder with few therapies available. In search for new potential targets, increasing evidence suggests a role for the endocannabinoid system (ECS) in the ...

Fatty Acid Amide Hydrolase Signaling and Ovarian Disorders: From Molecular Mechanism to Clinical Significance [PDF]
Fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) is a central component of the endocannabinoid system (ECS), where it primarily regulates intracellular levels of anandamide (AEA) through enzymatic hydrolysis.

Fatty acid amide hydrolase is lower in young cannabis users. [PDF]
AbstractWe have recently shown that levels of fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH), the enzyme that metabolizes the endocannabinoid anandamide, are lower in the brains of adult cannabis users (CUs) (34 ± 11 years of age), tested during early abstinence. Here, we examine replication of the lower FAAH levels in a separate, younger cohort (23 ± 5 years of ...

Fatty acid amide hydrolase drives adult mammary gland development by promoting luminal cell differentiation [PDF]
Mammary gland development occurs primarily in adulthood, undergoing extensive expansion during puberty followed by cycles of functional specialization and regression with every round of pregnancy/lactation/involution. This process is ultimately driven by

Quinolinyl-based multitarget-directed ligands with soluble epoxide hydrolase and fatty acid amide hydrolase inhibitory activities: Synthetic studies and pharmacological evaluations [PDF]
Simultaneous inhibition of soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) and fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) with a single small molecule represents a novel therapeutic approach in treating inflammatory pain, since both targets are involved in pain and inflammation ...
