Cellular Distribution of Canonical and Putative Cannabinoid Receptors in Canine Cervical Dorsal Root Ganglia

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2019
Growing evidence indicates cannabinoid receptors as potential therapeutic targets for chronic pain. Consequently, there is an increasing interest in developing cannabinoid receptor agonists for treating human and veterinary pain. To better understand the

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.

Interactions of the opioid and cannabinoid systems in reward: Insights from knockout studies

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2015
The opioid system consists of three receptors, mu, delta, and kappa, which are activated by endogenous opioid peptides (enkephalins, endorphins and dynorphins). The endogenous cannabinoid system comprises lipid neuromodulators (endocannabinoids), enzymes

Neurotransmitter‐Defined Degeneration Patterns in Sporadic and C9orf72‐Associated Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: Predilection to GABAergic, Serotonergic, Opioid, Glutamatergic, Endocannabinoid, and Microglial Systems—Implications for Therapy Development

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) has a markedly distinctive clinical and neuroradiological signature, with the preferential involvement of specific brain networks and the apparent sparing of others. The molecular underpinnings of the strikingly selective anatomical vulnerability have not been fully elucidated to date despite the potential ...

In Vitro Signaling Properties of Cannabinoid and Orexin Receptors: How Orexin Receptors Influence Cannabinoid Receptor‐Mediated Signaling

Pharmacology Research & Perspectives
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 ...
