| Application: | Oleamide has been used as a supplement in glucose and galactose media to prevent the rescue of galactose-induced Leigh syndrome (LS). |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Oleamide has the ability to stimulate sleep. It possess several properties, like cannabinoid-like activity. Oleamide can also disable the communication, facilitated by gap junction between rat glial cells. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Sleep-inducing brain lipid, which allosterically modulates GABAA receptors and potentiates 5-HT7 serotonin receptor responses. Selective endogenous agonist of rat and human CB1 cannabinoid receptor. |
| General description: | Oleamide is a lipid or a brain fatty acid, that is found in the CSF (cerebrospinal fluid). It is originally obtained from the cerebrospinal fluid of cats, that are sleep-deprived. |
