How nutrients influence it

Every nutrient with a recorded effect on this component, credited to the nutrient that acted rather than the chapter that recorded it. Open a nutrient to see the findings and the conditions they were measured under.

How nutrients reach it in more than one step

Chains of two or more recorded steps that end here, grouped by the nutrient they start from. Each step is a separate finding, so a chain is a route a mechanism could take, not proof that it does.

Where it participates (unsigned role)

  1. Systemic 4-aminophenol and 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzylamine led to dose-dependent formation of AM404 and of arvanil and olvanil respectively in the mouse brain, the order of potency of these lipid metabolites as TRPV1 activators being arvanil equal to olvanil much greater than AM404, both parent amines displayed antinociceptive activity in rodent pain tests, formation of these metabolites and the antinociceptive effects were substantially reduced or disappeared in fatty acid amide hydrolase null mice, activity was lost in TRPV1 null mice, intracerebroventricular capsazepine eliminated the effects, and in the rat, inhibition of fatty acid amide hydrolase, TRPV1, cannabinoid CB1 receptors and spinal 5-HT3 or 5-HT1A receptors and chemical deletion of bulbospinal serotonergic pathways all prevented the action, giving a pharmacological profile identical to that previously reported for paracetamol.
