Anandamide uptake by synaptosomes from human, mouse and rat brain: inhibition by glutamine and glutamate
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Anandamide (<it>N</it>-arachidonoylethanolamine, AEA) belongs to an emerging class of endogenous lipids, called "endocannabinoids". A specific AEA membrane transporter (AMT) allows the import of this lipid and its degradation by the intracel...
