a

Rats (n=5/treatment group) were treated with either peanut oil (1 ml/kg, sc) or DFP in peanut oil (2.5 mg/kg) and sacrificed 24 hours later. Both sides of the hippocampus were dissected and frozen separately until assay. An asterisk indicates a significant difference between control and DFP-treated tissues. Values in parentheses represent percent of control.

b

Cholinesterase activity is reported as nmol acetylcholine hydrolyzed/min˙mg protein (mean ± SE).

c

FAAH activity is reported as nmol anadamide hydrolyzed/min˙mg protein (mean ± SE).

d

MAGL activity is reported as nmol 2-oleoyl glycerol hydrolyzed/min˙mg protein (mean ± SE).

e

CB1 receptor binding data are presented as pmol [3H]CP 55,940 bound/mg protein ± SE.
