Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) is an endogenous lipid that is thought to be involved in endogenous protective mechanisms activated as a result of stimulation of inflammatory response. [...] Key Method PEA was administered i.p. to mice with chronic constriction injury of sciatic nerve (CCI) once a day for one week starting the day after the lesion. This therapeutic regimen evoked a relief of both thermal hyperalgesia and mechanical allodynia in neuropathic mice.Expand
