Analysis of ECs and related compounds in plasma: artifactual isomerization and ex vivo enzymatic generation of 2-MGs[S]

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2014
The analysis of peripheral endocannabinoids (ECs) is a good biomarker of the EC system. Their concentrations, from clinical studies, strongly depend on sample collection and time processing conditions taking place in clinical and laboratory settings. The

Hypothalamic 2-arachidonoylglycerol regulates multistage process of high-fat diet preferences. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
In this study, we examined alterations in the hypothalamic reward system related to high-fat diet (HFD) preferences. We previously reported that hypothalamic 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) and glial fibrillary acid protein (GFAP) were increased after ...

Cannabis sativa and the endogenous cannabinoid system: therapeutic potential for appetite regulation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The herb Cannabis sativa (C. sativa) has been used in China and on the Indian subcontinent for thousands of years as a medicine. However, since it was brought to the UK and then the rest of the western world in the late 19th century, its use has been a ...

Targeting 2‐arachidonoylglycerol signalling in the neurobiology and treatment of depression [PDF]

open access: yesBasic & Clinical Pharmacology & Toxicology, 2021
AbstractThe endocannabinoid 2‐arachidonoylglycerol (2‐AG) is an atypical neurotransmitter synthesized on demand in response to a wide range of stimuli, including exposure to stress. Through the activation of cannabinoid receptors, 2‐AG can interfere with excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmission in different brain regions and modulate behavioural ...

CB1 Receptor Antagonism Blocks Stress-Potentiated Reinstatement of Cocaine Seeking in Rats [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Rationale Under some conditions, stress, rather than directly triggering cocaine seeking, potentiates reinstatement to other stimuli, including a subthreshold cocaine dose.

The therapeutic aspects of the endocannabinoid system (ECS) for cancer and their development: from nature to laboratory [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a group of neuromodulatory lipids and their receptors, which are widely distributed in mammalian tissues. ECS regulates various cardiovascular, nervous, and immune system functions inside cells.

Inhibition of 2-AG hydrolysis differentially regulates blood brain barrier permeability after injury

open access: yesJournal of Neuroinflammation, 2018
Background Acute neurological insults caused by infection, systemic inflammation, ischemia, or traumatic injury are often associated with breakdown of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) followed by infiltration of peripheral immune cells, cytotoxic proteins ...

Circulating Endocannabinoids in Canine Multicentric Lymphoma Patients

open access: yesFrontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022
The endocannabinoid system is increasingly being implicated in the pathogenesis and progression of various human cancers. Specifically, increased levels of 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) and oleoythanolamide (OEA) have been demonstrated in human diffuse ...
