THC-induced behavioral stereotypy in zebrafish as a model of psychosis-like behavior
Scientific Reports, 2021 High doses of the Cannabis constituent Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) increase the risk of psychosis in humans. Highly accessible animal models are needed to address underlying mechanisms.

Cannabinoids and Cannabinoid Receptors: The Story so Far [PDF]
iScience, 2020 Like most modern molecular biology and natural product chemistry, understanding cannabinoid pharmacology centers around molecular interactions, in this case, between the cannabinoids and their putative targets, the G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1) and cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB2).

Regulation of MMP-9 by a WIN-binding site in the monocyte-macrophage system independent from cannabinoid receptors. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The cannabinoid system is known to be involved in the regulation of inflammatory processes. Therefore, drugs targeting cannabinoid receptors are considered as candidates for anti-inflammatory and tissue protective therapy.

Mechanism of the Interaction of Cannabinoid System in Central Amygdale with Opioid System [PDF]
Majallah-i Dānishgāh-i ̒Ulūm-i Pizishkī-i Qum, 2008 Background and objectives Cannabinoids which are active compounds of marijuana show some pharmacological effects similar to the opioids. There are also functional interactions between both cannabinoid and opioid systems. In this study we investigated the

Cannabinoid receptors in invertebrates [PDF]
Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2006 Abstract Two cannabinoid receptors, CB1 and CB2, are expressed in mammals, birds, reptiles, and fish. The presence of cannabinoid receptors in invertebrates has been controversial, due to conflicting evidence. We conducted a systematic review of the literature, using expanded search parameters. Evidence presented in the literature varied
