The Endocannabinoid System and Energy Metabolism [PDF]
Journal of Neuroendocrinology, 2008 Many different regulatory actions have been attributed to endocannabinoids, and their involvement in several pathophysiological conditions is under intense scrutiny. Cannabinoid receptors [cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1) and CB2] participate in the physiological modulation of many central and peripheral functions.

Endocannabinoid system in neurodegenerative disorders [PDF]
Journal of Neurochemistry, 2017 AbstractMost neurodegenerative disorders (NDDs) are characterized by cognitive impairment and other neurological defects. The definite cause of and pathways underlying the progression of theseNDDs are not well‐defined. Several mechanisms have been proposed to contribute to the development ofNDDs.

The Role of the Endocannabinoid System in Atherosclerosis [PDF]
Journal of Neuroendocrinology, 2008 Our current understanding of the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis suggests a prominent role for immune responses from its initiation through its complications. Given the increasing prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors worldwide, there is an urgent need to better understand the underlying mechanisms to improve current treatment protocols.
