For days, the whole of Bulgaria has been shaken by the news of a narcotic substance found in a popular lutenitsa brand. Tests showed that in one of the samples there is oleamide.
The substance oleamide is unknown to the general public. The organic compound is a colorless waxy substance. It can also be found under the formula C₁₈H₃₅NO.
The substance is synthesized in the human body. It was first discovered in human plasma. It turned out to be an endogenous element that is synthesized by brain cells from fatty oleic acid and ammonia. More recently, scientists have accidentally discovered it in human tears.
Oleamide has the function of modulating the functions of immune cells by acting directly on the central nervous system. From this point of view, it is thought to interact with multiple neurotransmitter systems. One of its isomers, cis-oleamide, plays a major role in sleep. In dogs and rats, cis-oleamide accumulates in the cerebrospinal fluid, better known as cerebrospinal fluid.
In medical circles, there is growing evidence of potential positive effects in the treatment of mood and sleep disorders through oleamide. It has been suggested that it may also be a cannabinoid regulator of depression. Its mechanism of action is associated with the modulation of serotonin receptors or more precisely - the receptors for happiness.
Oleamide, as well as many other similar substances, are widely used in industry. It most often appears as an additive in the production of polymers. In other cases it is used for corrosion protection and for lubrication.
Laboratory tests have so far shown that oleamide can be separated from polypropylene plastics. A large number of packages today are made of polypropylene, such as yogurt buckets.
Today, there are doubts whether the substance found in lyutenitsa is oleamide. However, even if that is the case, experts are adamant that the substance is not a drug, as was insisted at the beginning.
Toxicologists have even announced that it is usually one of the ingredients and does not hide any dangers. However, some still believe that oleamide causes effects similar to those of marijuana. Which can only be true if the substance is taken in a fairly large dose. And no one can eat so much lyutenitsa.
