Correlations within endocannabinoid and endocannabinoid-like lipid levels and with parameters of disease severity. (a) Anandamide (AEA) levels (ng/ml) highly correlate with levels of palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) and oleoylethanolamide (OEA) (ng/ml) in plasma samples of controls and in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and colorectal cancer (CRC). (b) OEA (ng/ml) highly correlates with severity of CD (Harvey Bradshaw Index, HBI) but not with severity of UC (Mayo score). (c) 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) correlates negatively with HBI in CD, but not with Mayo score in UC. N = 12–17; Pearson correlation; p < 0.05 considered significant.
