Addition of exogenous Polyunsaturated N-acylethanolamines (NAEs), including anandamide (20:4n-6 NAE), elicit a variety of biological effects through cannabinoid receptors, whereas saturated and monounsaturated NAEs are inactive. Arachidonic acid mobilization induced by treatment of intact mouse peritoneal macrophages with Ca2+ ionophore A23187 had no effect on the production of NAE or its precursor N-acylphosphatidylethanolamine (N-acyl PE), ethanolamine resulted in enhanced NAE synthesis by its N-acylation with endogenous fatty acids, but this pathway was not selective for arachidonic acid, Incorporation of O-18 from H-2 O-18-containing media into the amide carbonyls of both NAE and N-acyl PE demonstrated a rapid, constitutive turnover of both lipids: (C) 1999 Federation of European Biochemical Societies.
