Cannabidiol in Anorexia Nervosa: A Double‐Blind Randomized Placebo Controlled Pilot Study to Test Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Symptom Change

International Journal of Eating Disorders, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a severe psychiatric disorder marked by an intense fear of gaining weight and persistent body dissatisfaction, both during periods of underweight and after weight restoration. The endocannabinoid system may offer therapeutic benefits, particularly in reducing anxiety.

2-arachidonoylglycerol metabolism is differently modulated by oligomeric and fibrillar conformations of amyloid beta in synaptic terminals [PDF]

, 2017
Alzheimer´s disease (AD) is the most prevalent disorder of senile dementia mainly characterized by amyloid-beta peptide (Aβ) deposits in the brain. Cannabinoids are relevant to AD as they exert several beneficial effects in many models of this disease ...

The Endocannabinoid System and Pain [PDF]

CNS & Neurological Disorders - Drug Targets, 2009
The therapeutic potential of cannabinoids has been the topic of extensive investigation following the discovery of cannabinoid receptors and their endogenous ligands. Cannabinoid receptors and their endogenous ligands are present at supraspinal, spinal and peripheral levels. Cannabinoids suppress behavioral responses to noxious stimulation and suppress

Exploring the Role of Dysregulated Arousal in the Relationship Between Trauma and Addictive Behaviors Among College Students

Journal of Counseling &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The relationship between trauma and addictive behaviors is well‐established, yet factors mediating this relationship remain understudied. Given the prevalence of addictive behaviors among collegiate populations, we used path analysis to explore the mediating role of arousal dysregulation in the relationship between childhood trauma and a ...

Gray Matter Volume Loss in Parkinson's Disease Psychosis and Cannabinoid Receptor Gene Expression in the Brain

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Serotonergic and dopaminergic pathways are implicated in Parkinson's disease psychosis (PDP), but preliminary evidence also implicates the endocannabinoid system (ECS). Objectives We examined the association of gray matter volume loss in PDP patients with brain expression of the genes coding for CB1 (cannabinoid type 1) and CB2 ...

Multi‐Targeting Ligands as Prospective Therapeutics for Alzheimer's Disease, a Prevalent Neurodegenerative Disorder: Mechanistic Insights, Emerging Targets and Drug Discovery Campaigns

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a debilitating neurodegenerative condition characterized by progressive cognitive impairment, memory deterioration, and neuronal dysfunction. Its complex pathophysiology involves multiple interlinked processes, including amyloid‐β (Aβ) aggregation, tau hyperphosphorylation, oxidative stress, neuroinflammation ...

Monogenic and syndromic obesity in children: Clinical recognition, genetics, and precision management

Pediatric Investigation, EarlyView.
Monogenic and syndromic obesity in children often arises from defects in the leptin–melanocortin pathway. Understanding these rare genetic causes not only clarifies mechanisms of appetite regulation but also enables precision therapies, offering hope beyond lifestyle interventions.
