Microvascular Effects of Endocannabinoid Signaling in Sepsis: A Mechanistic and Systematic Review

open access: yesMicrocirculation, Volume 33, Issue 4, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Microvascular dysfunction is a central determinant of organ failure in sepsis, reflecting early endothelial activation, increased permeability, and impaired capillary perfusion. Experimental evidence suggests that the endocannabinoid system (ECS) modulates these immunovascular processes, yet mechanistic insights remain dispersed across ...

A co-ultramicronized palmitoylethanolamide/luteolin composite mitigates clinical score and disease-relevant molecular markers in a mouse model of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Background: Persistent and/or recurrent inflammatory processes are the main factor leading to multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions. The composite ultramicronized palmitoylethanolamide, an endogenous N-acylethanolamine, combined with the flavonoid luteolin ...

Molecular Characterization of a Phospholipase D Generating Anandamide and Its Congeners*

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2004
Anandamide (N-arachidonoylethanolamine) is known to be an endogenous ligand of cannabinoid and vanilloid receptors. Its congeners (collectively referred to as N-acylethanolamines) also show a variety of biological activities.

Gut Microbiota‐Derived Anandamide Mediates the Therapeutic Effects of Urolithin A on Alcohol‐Induced Cognitive and Social Dysfunction via CB1R‐DRD2‐RAP1 Signaling Axis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 20, 9 April 2026.
This study reveals that Urolithin A (UA) counteracts alcohol‐induced cognitive and social dysfunction (AICSD) via a gut microbiome‐dependent mechanism. UA‐enriched Bacteroids sartorii and Parabacteroids distasonis elevate anandamide (AEA), which activates the CB1R‐DRD2‐Rap1 signaling cascade to drive synaptic repair and reduce neuroinflammation ...

Chemical synthesis, pharmacological characterization, and possible formation in unicellular fungi of 3-hydroxy-anandamide1

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2009
The fungal pathogen Candida albicans transforms arachidonic acid (AA) into 3-hydroxyarachidonic acid [3(R)-HETE], and we investigated if its nonpathogenic and 3(R)-HETE-producing close relative, Dipodascopsis uninucleata, could similarly transform the ...

Interaction between Cannabinoid System and Toll-Like Receptors Controls Inflammation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Since the discovery of the endocannabinoid system consisting of cannabinoid receptors, endogenous ligands, and biosynthetic and metabolizing enzymes, interest has been renewed in investigating the promise of cannabinoids as therapeutic agents.

Decreased circulating anandamide levels in preeclampsia

open access: yesHypertension Research, 2015
The endocannabinoid system has a key role in female reproduction, including implantation, decidualization and placentation. A growing number of studies indicate that placental and peripheral blood anandamide levels correlate closely with both spontaneous

UK Medical Cannabis Registry: A Clinical Outcomes Analysis for Migraine

open access: yesBrain and Behavior, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
This case series followed patients receiving medicinal cannabis for migraine headache for up to 2 years. At 24 months, there were significant improvements in measures assessing headache impact, anxiety, sleep quality, and general quality of life. Note that 15.27% of patients reported an adverse event, most of which were mild or moderate in severity ...

Plasma endocannabinoid alterations in individuals with substance use disorder are dependent on the mirror effect of schizophrenia

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychiatry, 2012
Schizophrenia is a complex psychiatric disorder strongly associated with substance use disorders. Theoretically, schizophrenia and SUD may share endocannabinoid alterations in the brain reward system.

Pharmacological Or Genetic Targeting Of Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) Channels Can Disrupt The Planarian Escape Response [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
In response to noxious stimuli, planarians cease their typical ciliary gliding and exhibit an oscillatory type of locomotion called scrunching. We have previously characterized the biomechanics of scrunching and shown that it is induced by specific ...
