Journal of Lipid Research, 2012 In the central nervous system, three enzymes belonging to the serine hydrolase family are thought to regulate the life time of the endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoylglycerol (C20:4) (2-AG). From these, monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) is well characterized and,

Inhibitors of monoacylglycerol lipase as novel analgesics [PDF]
British Journal of Pharmacology, 2007 2‐Arachidonoylglycerol (2‐AG) is an endogenous cannabinoid (endocannabinoid) lipid whose functions remain poorly understood. Guindon and colleagues report the novel finding that exogenous application of 2‐AG induces peripheral antinociceptive effects that are mediated, at least in part, by actions at peripheral cannabinoid CB2 receptors.

Acetyl-11-keto-β-boswellic acid alleviates hepatic metabolic dysfunction by inhibiting MGLL activity
Journal of Lipid ResearchMetabolic abnormalities have emerged as a central pathogenesis in various metabolic diseases, particularly nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and its associated complications of obesity and insulin resistance. Despite this, effective pharmaceutical

Monoacylglycerol lipase: stopping surplus at the synapse
The Journal of Physiology, 2011 Endocannabinoids (eCBs) are a family of molecules derived from membrane phospholipids which exert biological effects through specific receptors. In the brain, eCBs are perhaps the most ubiquitous and potent neurotransmitters known to act in a retrograde manner.

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.The manuscript confirms and expands on previous reports concerning the presence of unusual conjugated hydroxydienoic fatty acids and acetyl‐TAG in the seed oil of Securidaca longipedunculata. The location of acetate only at sn‐2 of TAG was conclusively shown by high resolution NMR and hydroxy seed fatty acids are characterized.

Alkali‐Catalyzed Synthesis of Acylglycerol Estolides Exclusively from Castor Oil
Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.This work advances sustainable chemistry by converting renewable castor oil into high‐performance estolides via solvent‐free, low‐energy catalysis. ABSTRACT Estolides are oligomers composed of fatty acid (FA) monomers linked through secondary ester bonds located along the mid‐chain region.

A proteomic investigation of forebrain regeneration in the leopard gecko (Eublepharis macularius)
Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Our investigation reveals ontogenetic, injury‐ and regeneration‐associated proteomic changes in the leopard gecko forebrain. Abstract Background The ability to replace lost or damaged neurons following an injury is termed reactive neurogenesis. Although reactive neurogenesis has been reported in several lizard species, the molecular mechanisms ...
