N-Stearoylethanolamine Exerts Cardioprotective Effects in Old Rats.
Article in Current aging science, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundAging is associated with the slowing down of metabolic processes, diminished physiological processes, changes in hormonal activity and increasing exposure to oxidative stress factors and chronic inflammation. The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a major signaling network that plays a pro-homeostatic role in the central and peripheral organs of the human body. A class of minor lipids, N-acylethanolamines (NAEs), which do not activate cannabinoid receptors, except for anandamide, but can potentiate the action of endocannabinoids and have a wide spectrum of biological activity and significant adaptogenic potential, belongs to ECS. The results of different studies over the past decades have established the protective effect of NAE on many pathological conditions.
objectiveThis study aimed to investigate the cardioprotective effects of C18:0 NAE- N-stearoylethanolamine (NSE) in aged rats. In this study, we focused on investigating the effects of C18:0 NAE- N-stearoylethanolamine (NSE) on the intensity of oxidative/ nitrosative stress, antioxidant potential, lipoprotein profile and inflammation markers of blood plasma, phospholipid composition and age-related morphological changes of old rat heart tissues.
methodsThe study was conducted on Sprague Dawley male laboratory rats. The three groups of rats were involved in the study design. The first group consisted of young rats aged 4 months (n=10). The second (n=10) and third (n=10) groups included old rats aged of 18 months. Rats from the third group were administered a per os aqueous suspension of NSE at a dose of 50 mg/kg of body weight daily for 10 days. All groups of rats were kept on a standard vivarium diet. The blood plasma, serum, and heart of rats were used for biochemical and histological analysis.
resultsThe cardioprotective effect of N-stearoylethanolamine in old rats was established, which was expressed in the normalization of the antioxidant system condition and the level of proinflammatory cytokines, positive modulation of blood plasma and lipoprotein profile, normalization of heart tissue lipid composition, and significant reduction in age-related myocardium morphological changes.
conclusionThe revealed effects of N-stearoylethanolamine can become the basis for developing a new drug for use in complex therapy to improve the quality of life of older people.
