Anandamide, but not 2-arachidonoylglycerol, accumulates during in vivo neurodegeneration

open access: yes, 2001
Endogenous cannabinoid receptor ligands (endocannabinoids) may rescue neurons from glutamate excitotoxicity. As these substances also accumulate in cultured immature neurons following neuronal damage, elevated endocannabinoid concentrations may be ...

RNA interference suggests a primary role for monoacylglycerol lipase in degradation of the endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoylglycerol.

open access: yes, 2004
The endogenous cannabinoid, 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG), is produced by neurons and other cells in a stimulus-dependent manner and undergoes rapid biological inactivation through transport into cells and catalytic hydrolysis.

Differential inhibitory effects of endocannabinoids on neuronal firing of mouse meningeal afferents

open access: yesThe Journal of Headache and Pain
Background Increasing endocannabinoids (endoCBs), anandamide (AEA) and 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG), through inhibition of the degrading hydrolase enzymes, fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) and monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL), respectively, has been ...

A Basal Tone of 2-Arachidonoylglycerol Contributes to Early Oligodendrocyte Progenitor Proliferation by Activating Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase (PI3K)/AKT and the Mammalian Target of Rapamycin (MTOR) Pathways

open access: yes, 2015
A basal tone of the endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) enhances late oligodendrocyte progenitor cell (OPC) differentiation. Here, we investigated whether endogenous 2-AG may also promote OPC proliferation in earlier stages.

Selective blockade of 2-arachidonoylglycerol hydrolysis produces cannabinoid behavioral effects

open access: yes, 2008
2-Arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) and anandamide are endocannabinoids that activate cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2. Endocannabinoid signaling is terminated by enzymatic hydrolysis, a process that, for anandamide, is mediated by fatty acid amide hydrolase (
