Extracellular glutamate is not modulated by cannabinoid receptor activity [PDF]
Cannabinoid receptor activation has been proposed to trigger glutamate release from astrocytes located in cortical layer 2/3. Here, we measure the basal concentration of extracellular glutamate in layer 2/3 of mouse somatosensory cortex and find it to be

In Vitro Signaling Properties of Cannabinoid and Orexin Receptors: How Orexin Receptors Influence Cannabinoid Receptor‐Mediated Signaling [PDF]
The co‐expression of different types of G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) in the same cells can have implications for receptor signaling and receptor cross‐talk, potentially altering the apparent potency or efficacy of ligands targeting each receptor ...

Abstract Cannabinoid receptors are seven transmembrane receptors that mediate the central and peripheral actions of extracts from the cannabis plant. Although many endogenous agonists of cannabinoid receptors have been described, a categorical role of these (mainly fatty acid derived) molecules as the endogenous ligand for cannabinoid ...

Increased expression of cannabinoid CB₁ receptors in Achilles tendinosis. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The endogenous cannabinoid system is involved in the control of pain. However, little is known as to the integrity of the cannabinoid system in human pain syndromes.

Molecular Insights into Epigenetics and Cannabinoid Receptors
The actions of cannabis are mediated by G protein-coupled receptors that are part of an endogenous cannabinoid system (ECS). ECS consists of the naturally occurring ligands N-arachidonylethanolamine (anandamide) and 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG), their ...

Receptor mechanism of infarct-limiting effect of adaptation to normobaric hypoxia
The aim of the study was to investigate the involvement of bradykinin, cannabinoid and vanilloid (TRPV1 channel) receptors in the implementation of the infarct-limiting effect of chronic normobaric hypoxia (CNH).Materials and methods.

Roles of the Cannabinoid System in the Basal Ganglia in Parkinson’s Disease
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease usually caused by neuroinflammation, oxidative stress and other etiologies. Recent studies have found that the cannabinoid system present in the basal ganglia has a strong influence on the ...
