Method for enhancing amidohydrolase activity of fatty acid amide hydrolase

Title: Method for enhancing amidohydrolase activity of fatty acid amide hydrolase

A method for enhancing amidohydrolase activity of Fatty Acid Amide Hydrolase (FAAH) is disclosed. The method comprising administering a phenoxyacylethanolamide that causes the enhanced activity. The enhanced activity can have numerous effects on biological organisms including, for example, enhancing the growth of certain seedlings. The subject matter disclosed herein relates to enhancers of amidohydrolase activity.
