摘要
Beltramo and Piomelli reply — The two most abundant N-acylethanolamines (NAEs) found in chocolate (N-oleyl-ethanolamine and N-linoleylethanolamine) do not activate brain cannabinoid receptors but effectively inhibit anandamide degradation1,2. This observation suggested to us that these compounds might contribute to the hedonic properties of chocolate by causing non-metabolized anandamide to accumulate at its sites of action2.
