    Product Description

    Eicosapentaenoyl ethanolamide (EPEA)-d4 contains four deuterium atoms at the 1, 1', 2, and 2' positions. It is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of EPEA by GC- or LC-mass spectrometry. Eicosapentaenoyl Ethanolamide (EPEA) is an N-acylethanolamide that inhibits dietary-restriction-induced lifespan extension in wild type and TOR pathway mutant nematodes.1 Produced endogenously from eicosapentaenoic acid, EPEA serves as a metabolic signal that couples nutrient availability with growth and lifespan. EPEA also has anti-inflammatory properties, suppressing the expression of IL-6 and MCP-1 in 3T3-L1 adipocytes in response to lipopolysaccharide.2

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
