title: [Neuroprotective effect of N-acylethanolamines in chronic morphine dependence. II. Effect on the rat brain fatty acid composition].
abstract: The effect of N-acylethanolamines mixture (NAE) with saturated and unsaturated acyl chains on the fatty acid composition of the rat brain under chronic morphine dependence was investigated. Long-term administration of NAE reduced morphine-induced decrease of mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acids in the rat brain crude lipid extract. Furthermore, NAE restored the acyl chain spectrum, especially the content of docosahexaenoic acid in essential phospholipids--phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine. Pharmacological activity of NAE depended on a dose.
