Altered Anandamide Degradation in Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
Anandamide (AEA) metabolism was investigated in 15 drug-free boys with ADHD (aged 6.5-13 years) and 15 age- and gender-matched healthy controls, in a study at Universita Tor Vergata, Rome, Italy.

Developmental expression of a functional TASK-1 2P domain K+ channel in embryonic chick heart [PDF]
Background Background K+ channels are the principal determinants of the resting membrane potential (RMP) in cardiac myocytes and thus, influence the magnitude and time course of the action potential (AP). Methods RT-PCR and in situ hybridization are used

Fatty acid metabolism—an emerging regulatory node in T‐cell immunometabolism
Abstract While the roles of glucose metabolism and tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle intermediates in immune regulation are well established, the contribution of fatty acid metabolism remains less well defined. In this review, we examine current knowledge on the immunomodulatory functions of fatty acid metabolism, with a particular focus on T‐cell biology.

The Endocannabinoid System as a Potential Therapeutic Target for Pain Modulation
Although cannabis has been used for pain management for millennia, very few approved cannabinoids are indicated for the treatment of pain and other medical symptoms. Cannabinoid therapy re-gained attention only after the discovery of endocannabinoids and

Functional role of high-affinity anandamide transport, as revealed by selective inhibition.
Anandamide, an endogenous ligand for central cannabinoid receptors, is released from neurons on depolarization and rapidly inactivated. Anandamide inactivation is not completely understood, but it may occur by transport into cells or by enzymatic ...

Evaluating FABP5 as a Therapeutic Target for Pain Management
ABSTRACT Background and Objective Fatty acid‐binding proteins (FABPs) are intracellular lipid transporters. Pharmacological inhibition of FABP5 is analgesic in preclinical visceral, inflammatory, neuropathic and joint pain models. Genetic knockout or knockdown of FABP5 induces analgesia in select visceral and inflammatory pain models.
