Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Fatty acid amides such as the endocannabinoid anandamide serve as mammalian lipid transmitters in various physiological and pathophysiological processes including inflammation. They are rapidly degraded by the fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH). Non-functional FAAH resulted in reduced inflammatory and nociceptive responses. Evidence suggests that human genetic FAAH variants modulate pain and...
