Endocannabinoids and the haematological system [PDF]
British Journal of Pharmacology, 2007 Endocannabinoids are blood borne and may also be secreted by the endothelium. Accordingly, there has been interest in the interactions between (endo)cannabinoids and blood cells. There is certainly evidence that (endo)cannabinoids may promote platelet activation, indicating that they may be thrombogenic.

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.

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.

The Endocannabinoid/Endovanilloid System and Depression [PDF]
Current Neuropharmacology, 2014 Depression is one of the most frequent causes of disability in the 21st century. Despite the many preclinical and clinical studies that have addressed this brain disorder, the pathophysiology of depression is not well understood and the available antidepressant drugs are therapeutically inadequate in many patients.

Peripheral endocannabinoids regulate skeletal muscle development and maintenance
European Journal of Translational Myology, 2010 As a principal tissue responsible for insulin-mediated glucose uptake, skeletal muscle is important for whole-body health. The role of peripheral endocannabinoids as regulators of skeletal muscle metabolism has recently gained a lot of interest, as ...

Role of Cannabinoids in the Regulation of Bone Remodelling
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2012 The endocannabinoid system plays a key role in regulating a variety of physiological processes such as appetite control and energy balance, pain perception, and immune responses. Recent studies have implicated the endocannabinoid system in the regulation
