Endocannabinoids and their actions

2002
Endocannabinoids are a new class of lipid mediators, which includes amides and esters of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. Anandamide (I) and 2-arachidonoylglycerol (II) are the main endogenous agonists of cannabinoid receptors, able to mimic several pharmacological effects of delta 9-tetrahydrocannabinol (III), the active principle of Cannabis ...

ENDOCANNABINOIDS AND THE NEUROCHEMISTRY OF GLUTTONY

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, 2008
SummaryCannabis exerts its actions by mimicking ‘endocannabinoid’ neuromodulators at CB1 receptors in brain and peripheral tissues. The endocannabinoids both stimulate appetite by increasing food craving and enjoyment and promote the deposition of energy as fat in adipose tissues. These findings have raised the possibility of CB1 antagonists as a novel

Endocannabinoids

2007
Abstract The endocannabinoids are part of a large family of lipid signaling molecules derived from arachidonic acid, including the prostaglandins and leukotrienes, which are important mediators of inflammation. Far less is known about the newer members of the endocannabinoid group, and it remains unclear whether they all play important ...
