N- Oleoylethanolamide (OEA)

Dietary fat-derived lipid Oleoylethanolamide is a molecule produced in the body, usually found in the intestines. It is responsible for the feeling of satiety following meals.

Increasing evidence suggest that Oleoylethanolamide may act as an endogenous neuroprotective factor and participate in the control of reward-related behaviors. Also, it has been described as a perirally acting agent that reduces food intake and body weight gain.

Oleoylethanolamide or N-Oleoylethanolamide is a lipid that's synthesized naturally by the intestines. The presence of Oleoylethanolamide is higher during the day when the body is fully saturated with food and lower at nighttime during periods of starvation.
