Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA), the naturally occurring amide of palmitic acid and ethanolamine, reduces pain and inflammation through an as-yet-uncharacterized mechanism. Here, we identify the nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α (PPAR-α) as the molecular target responsible for the anti-inflammatory properties of PEA. PEA selectively activates PPAR-α in vitro with an EC50 value of 3.1 ± 0.4 μM and induces the expression of PPAR-α mRNA when applied topically to mouse skin… Expand
