N-Acylphosphatidylethanolamines (NAPEs) are a class of phospholipids
N-Acylphosphatidylethanolamines (NAPEs) are composed of a glycerol backbone with two fatty acyl chains (O-linked) in the sn-1 and sn-2 positions, and a phosphoethanolamine group with an additional fatty acyl chain (N-linked) attached to the nitrogen atom
N-Acylphosphatidylethanolamines (NAPEs) have been shown to play a significant role in the regulation of feeding behavior. Similar to NAEs, NAPEs (particularly the N16:0 species) have been found to inhibit food intake when administered exogenously. NAPE levels are regulated by the fed state, suggesting their involvement in signaling n…
