Figure 2. FAAH is a molecular integrator of female fertility signals. Compounds that act at the immune interface as pro-fertility signals (e.g., progesterone, leptin or T helper 2 [Th2] cytokines) also enhance FAAH activity. Conversely, molecules that can impair reproduction by acting on immune cells (e.g., Th1 cytokines) or on the uterine epithelium (e.g., progesterone and estrogen) inhibit FAAH.
