Palmitoleoylethanolamide Is an Efficient Anti-Obesity Endogenous Compound: Comparison with Oleylethanolamide in Diet-Induced Obesity
Obesity is currently a major epidemic in the developed world. However, we lack a wide range of effective pharmacological treatments and therapies against obesity, and those approved are not devoid of adverse effects. Dietary components such as palmitoleic acid have been proposed to improve metabolic...

description | Obesity is currently a major epidemic in the developed world. However, we lack a wide range of effective pharmacological treatments and therapies against obesity, and those approved are not devoid of adverse effects. Dietary components such as palmitoleic acid have been proposed to improve metabolic disbalance in obesity, although the mechanisms involved are not well understood. Both palmitoleic acid (POA) and oleic acid (OA) can be transformed in N-acylethanolamines (NAEs), mediating the effects of dietary POA and OA. To test this hypothesis, here, we study the effects on food intake and body weight gain of palmitoleylethanolamide (POEA) and the OA-derived NAE analogue, oleoylethanolamide (OEA), in Sprague–Dawley rats with a hypercaloric cafeteria diet (HFD). Plasma biochemical metabolites, inflammatory mediators, and lipogenesis-associated liver protein expression were also measured. The results indicate that POEA is able to improve health status in diet-induced obesity, decreasing weight, liver steatosis, inflammation, and dyslipemia. The action of POEA was found to be almost identical to that of OEA, which is an activator of the nuclear peroxisome proliferator receptor alpha (PPARα), and it is structurally related to POEA. These results suggest that the dietary administration of either POA or POEA might be considered as nutritional intervention as complementary treatment for complicated obesity in humans. |
