Endogenous levels of the endocannabinoid anandamide, and the activities of the synthesizing and hydrolyzing enzymes, phospholipase D and fatty acid amide hydrolase, respectively, were determined in the cortex and the striatum of rats sub-jected to transient middle cerebral artery occlusion. | ễFEBS Journal Modulation of the endocannabinoid system by focal brain ischemia in the rat is involved in neuroprotection afforded by 17p-estradiol Diana Amantea1 Paola Spagnuolo1 2 Monica Bari2 3 Filomena Fezza2 3 Cinzia Mazzei1 Cristina Tassorelli4 Luigi A.
