Discordant Effects of Cannabinoid 2 Receptor Antagonism/Inverse Agonism During Adolescence on Pavlovian and Instrumental Reward Learning in Adult Male Rats

open access: yesFrontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience, 2021
The endocannabinoid system is responsible for regulating a spectrum of physiological activities and plays a critical role in the developing brain. During adolescence, the endocannabinoid system is particularly sensitive to external insults that may ...

Quantification of the density of cooperative neighboring synapses required to evoke endocannabinoid signaling

open access: yes, 2014
The spatial pattern of synapse activation may impact on synaptic plasticity. This applies to the synaptically-evoked endocannabinoid-mediated short-term depression at the parallel fiber (PF) to Purkinje cell synapse, the occurrence of which requires ...

Endocannabinoids and epilepsy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The brain endocannabinoid system (ECS) plays an essential role in regulating central physiological processes that underlie learning and memory, anxiety, depression, addiction, appetite and feeding, pain, neuronal excitability and protection. A primary mode through which the ECS functions in the brain is via its regulation of synaptic transmission ...

Overlapping Distribution of Orexin and Endocannabinoid Receptors and Their Functional Interaction in the Brain of Adult Zebrafish

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2018
Hypocretins/Orexins neuropeptides are known to regulate numerous physiological functions, such as energy homeostasis, food intake, sleep/wake cycle, arousal and wakefulness, in vertebrates.

Oromucosal Administration of a Cannabidiol-Enriched Cannabis sp. Extract for 2 Weeks Moderately Reduces Cold Hyperalgesia in Rats With Neuropathic Pain. [PDF]

open access: yesEur J Pain
ABSTRACT Background Chronic neuropathic pain (CNP) involves complex interactions between resident and peripheral immune cells, as well as modulation of the endocannabinoid system. Cannabis‐based products have emerged as promising therapeutic options, but their effects on immune cells remain unclear.

The Endocannabinoid System: Overview, Therapeutic Applications and Future Perspectives

open access: yes, 2021
The endocannabinoid system is an incredibly pervasive network, influencing the homeostasis of immune, cardiovascular, central nervous, and cutaneous systems, among many others. The biological effects of the endocannabinoid system were gleaned mostly from

Endocannabinoids and the Heart [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology, 2009
Endocannabinoids, such as anandamide and 2-arachidonoylglycerol, are synthesized from membrane phospholipids in the heart and other cardiovascular tissues. They activate cannabinoid CB1 and CB2 receptors, transient receptor potential V1 (TRPV1), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors, and perhaps a novel vascular G-protein-coupled receptor ...

Characterization of endocannabinoids and related acylethanolamides in the synovial fluid of dogs with osteoarthritis: a pilot study

open access: yesBMC Veterinary Research, 2017
Background Cannabis-based drugs have been shown to be effective in inflammatory diseases. A number of endocannabinoids including N- arachidonoylethanolamide (anandamide, AEA) and 2-arachidonyl glycerol (2-AG) with activity at the cannabinoid receptors ...

Monoacylglycerol lipase deficiency in the tumor microenvironment slows tumor growth in non-small cell lung cancer

open access: yesOncoImmunology, 2021
Monoacylglycerol lipase (MGL) expressed in cancer cells influences cancer pathogenesis but the role of MGL in the tumor microenvironment (TME) is less known.

The Endocannabinoid System and Sex Steroid Hormone-Dependent Cancers

open access: yesInternational Journal of Endocrinology, 2013
The “endocannabinoid system (ECS)” comprises the endocannabinoids, the enzymes that regulate their synthesis and degradation, the prototypical cannabinoid receptors (CB1 and CB2), some noncannabinoid receptors, and an, as yet, uncharacterised transport ...
