Metabolite Identification
Common NameDihomo-gamma-linolenoylethanolamide
DescriptionDihomo-gamma-linolenoylethanolamide (DGLEA) is an N-acylethanolamine. N-acylethanolamines (NAEs) constitute a class of lipid compounds naturally present in both animal and plant membranes as constituents of the membrane-bound phospholipid, N-acylphosphatidylethanolamine (NAPE). NAPE is composed of a third fatty acid moiety linked to the amino head group of the commonly occurring membrane phospholipid, phosphatidylethanolamine. NAEs are released from NAPE by phospholipase D-type hydrolases in response to a variety of stimuli. Transient NAE release and accumulation have been attributed to a variety of biological activities, including neurotransmission, membrane protection, and immunomodulation in animals. During abstinence, young adults with a history of alcohol binge drinking had elevated plasma levels of monounsaturated and polyunsaturatedacylethanolamides, specifically oleoylethanolamide (OEA), palmitoleoylethanolamide (POEA), arachidonoylethanolamide (AEA), and dihomo-gamma-linolenoylethanolamide (DGLEA). Changes in these lipids positively correlated with mRNA upregulation of inflammatory markers in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), such as toll-like receptors (TLR4), pro-inflammatory cytokines/chemokines, and cyclooxygenase-2 (PMID: 29178411 ).
