Novel therapeutic targets for chronic visceral pain in gastrointestinal disorders
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Chronic visceral pain imposes a major clinical challenge in gastroenterology and beyond, profoundly impacting patients' quality of life. However, limited understanding of its complex, multifaceted pathophysiology, encompassing both peripheral and central mechanisms, continues to impede the development of effective management strategies.

Gut microbiota as a novel therapeutic target for eating disorders and obesity
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.The graphical abstract highlights the bidirectional interaction between the gut microbiota and central homeostatic and hedonic mechanisms regulating food intake, which contributes to overweight and obesity. It also illustrates emerging microbiota‐based biomarkers and therapeutic strategies (including prebiotics, probiotics, postbiotics, synbiotics and ...

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Abstract Background and Purpose Positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) engage sites distinct from the orthosteric CB1 cannabinoid receptor binding site. GAT211, a racemic ligand, contains GAT228 (R) and GAT229 (S) enantiomers. Whether enantiomer‐mediated differences in allosteric activation or positive allosteric modulation translate into differences in

History of cannabis and the endocannabinoid system
Dialogues in Clinical Neuroscience, 2020 This article retraces the story of cannabis from the earliest contacts of humans with the plant to its subsequent global expansion, its medicinal uses, and the discovery of the endocannabinoid system in the 20th century. Cannabis was attested to around 12 000 years ago near the Altai Mountains in Central Asia, and since then, cannabis seeds have ...

The Endocannabinoid System and Sex Steroid Hormone-Dependent Cancers
International 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 ...

Ulcerative colitis induces changes on the expression of the endocannabinoid system in the human colonic tissue. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 BACKGROUND:Recent studies suggest potential roles of the endocannabinoid system in gastrointestinal inflammation. Although cannabinoid CB(2) receptor expression is increased in inflammatory disorders, the presence and function of the remaining proteins ...

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Circadian disruption via constant light induces sex‐specific remodeling of the microbiome, lipid mediators, and immune responses. Females exhibit broader gut microbiota alterations, reduced jejunal oxylipins, increased hypothalamic N‐acylethanolamines, and a more inflammatory cytokine profile. Muscle responses are sex‐ and fiber type‐dependent: females

Non-opioid Analgesics and the Endocannabinoid System
Balkan Medical Journal, 2020 Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs produce antinociceptive effects mainly through peripheral cyclooxygenase inhibition. In opposition to the classical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, paracetamol and dipyrone exert weak anti-inflammatory ...

Pharmacological activation/inhibition of the cannabinoid system affects alcohol withdrawal-induced neuronal hypersensitivity to excitotoxic insults. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Cessation of chronic ethanol consumption can increase the sensitivity of the brain to excitotoxic damages. Cannabinoids have been proposed as neuroprotectants in different models of neuronal injury, but their effect have never been investigated in a ...
