Phytoestrogens Enhance the Vascular Actions of the Endocannabinoid Anandamide in Mesenteric Beds of Female Rats

open access: yesInternational Journal of Hypertension, 2012
In rat isolated mesenteric beds that were contracted with NA as an in vitro model of the vascular adrenergic hyperactivity that usually precedes the onset of primary hypertension, the oral administration (3 daily doses) of either 10 mg/kg genistein or 20

A Brain Motivated to Play: Insights into the Neurobiology of Playfulness

open access: yes, 2016
Play is an important part of normal childhood development and is seen in varied forms among many mammals. While not indispensable to normal development, playful social experiences as juveniles may provide an opportunity to develop flexible behavioural ...

Effects of Diet Strategy and Nutrients on the Progression and Prevention of Diabetic Cardiomyopathy: A Narrative Review

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
Dietary strategies modulate the progression of diabetic cardiomyopathy by targeting oxidative stress, inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and myocardial fibrosis. Specific nutrients and bioactive compounds, as well as caloric restriction, improve myocardial metabolism and redox balance, whereas ketogenic diets exert time‐dependent beneficial or ...

Vaccenic acid suppresses intestinal inflammation by increasing anandamide and related N-acylethanolamines in the JCR:LA-cp rat[S]

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2016
Vaccenic acid (VA), the predominant ruminant-derived trans fat in the food chain, ameliorates hyperlipidemia, yet mechanisms remain elusive. We investigated whether VA could influence tissue endocannabinoids (ECs) by altering the availability of their ...

Stress Promotes Drug Seeking Through Glucocorticoid-Dependent Endocannabinoid Mobilization in the Prelimbic Cortex [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Background Clinical reports suggest that rather than directly driving cocaine use, stress may create a biological context within which other triggers for drug use become more potent. We hypothesize that stress-induced increases in corticosterone “set the

Elevated Brain Cannabinoid CB1 Receptor Availability in Posttraumatic Stress Disorder: A Positron Emission Tomography Study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Endocannabinoids and their attending cannabinoid type 1 receptor (CB1) have been implicated in animal models of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, their specific role has not been studied in people with PTSD.

Dietary docosahexaenoic acid supplementation alters select physiological endocannabinoid-system metabolites in brain and plasma

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2010
The endocannabinoid metabolome consists of a growing, (patho)physiologically important family of fatty-acid derived signaling lipids. Diet is a major source of fatty acid substrate for mammalian endocannabinoid biosynthesis. The principal long-chain PUFA

Endocannabinoid Systetm: Neuropharmacological Implications

open access: yesMedicine Science, 2016
Marijuana or cannabis has been part of humanity's medicine chest for almost as long as history has been recorded. Cannabinoids are a class of diverse chemical compounds isolated from cannabis that act on cannabinoid receptors (CB1 & CB2).
