The orexigenic effect of ghrelin is mediated through central activation of the endogenous cannabinoid system [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
INTRODUCTION: Ghrelin and cannabinoids stimulate appetite, this effect possibly being mediated by the activation of hypothalamic AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a key enzyme in appetite and metabolism regulation. The cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1)

Drug-Resistant Temporal Lobe Epilepsy Alters the Expression and Functional Coupling to Gαi/o Proteins of CB1 and CB2 Receptors in the Microvasculature of the Human Brain

open access: yesFrontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2021
Cannabinoid receptors 1 and 2 (CB1 and CB2, respectively) play an important role in maintaining the integrity of the blood–brain barrier (BBB). On the other hand, BBB dysfunction is a common feature in drug-resistant epilepsy.

Expression and functional relevance of cannabinoid receptor 1 in Hodgkin lymphoma. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1) is expressed in certain types of malignancies. An analysis of CB1 expression and function in Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), one of the most frequent lymphomas, was not performed to date.We examined the distribution of CB1 protein in ...

CB1 cannabinoid receptor expression in the striatum: Association with corticostriatal circuits and developmental regulation

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2012
Corticostriatal circuits mediate various aspects of goal-directed behavior and are critically important for basal ganglia-related disorders. Activity in these circuits is regulated by the endocannabinoid system via stimulation of CB1 cannabinoid ...

Differential β-arrestin2 requirements for constitutive and agonist-induced internalization of the CB1 cannabinoid receptor [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
CB1 cannabinoid receptor (CB1R) undergoes both constitutive and agonist-induced internalization, but the underlying mechanisms of these processes and the role of beta-arrestins in the regulation of CB1R function are not completely understood.
