New Perspectives in the Studies on Endocannabinoid and Cannabis: Abnormal Behaviors Associate With CB1 Cannabinoid Receptor and Development of Therapeutic Application

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2004
Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC), the major psychoactive component of marijuana, induces catalepsy-like immobilization and impairment of spatial memory in rats. Δ9-THC also induces aggressive behavior in isolated housing stress.

Role of endocannabinoids and cannabinoid-1 receptors in cerebrocortical blood flow regulation. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Endocannabinoids are among the most intensively studied lipid mediators of cardiovascular functions. In the present study the effects of decreased and increased activity of the endocannabinoid system (achieved by cannabinoid-1 (CB1) receptor blockade and

Gray Matter Volume Loss in Parkinson's Disease Psychosis and Cannabinoid Receptor Gene Expression in the Brain

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Serotonergic and dopaminergic pathways are implicated in Parkinson's disease psychosis (PDP), but preliminary evidence also implicates the endocannabinoid system (ECS). Objectives We examined the association of gray matter volume loss in PDP patients with brain expression of the genes coding for CB1 (cannabinoid type 1) and CB2 ...

Targeting the Endocannabinoid CB1 Receptor to Treat Body Weight Disorders: A Preclinical and Clinical Review of the Therapeutic Potential of Past and Present CB1 Drugs

Biomolecules, 2020
Obesity rates are increasing worldwide and there is a need for novel therapeutic treatment options. The endocannabinoid system has been linked to homeostatic processes, including metabolism, food intake, and the regulation of body weight.

Involvement of the endocannabinoid system in the inhibition of Sindbis virus replication: a preliminary study

Journal of Cannabis Research, 2021
Background Sindbis virus (Alphaviridae) is a plus-strand RNA virus that is dependent on the host cell for replication. Cannabinoid (CB) receptors are found on most human cells, including virally infected cells.

Site-specific and time-dependent activation of the endocannabinoid system after transection of long-range projections [PDF]

, 2012
Background: After focal neuronal injury the endocannabinioid system becomes activated and protects or harms neurons depending on cannabinoid derivates and receptor subtypes.
