Antigenic and size differences between somatic and testicular cytochromes c.

abstract：:Anandamide (arachidonylethanolamide) has been identified as a brain constituent that selectively binds to the cannabinoid receptor and possesses cannabimimetic activity. Cytochromes P450 catalyze the oxidation of arachidonic acid to several metabolites possessing very potent pharmacological activity. We examined wheth...
