Prostaglandins & Other Lipid Mediators, 2002
Endocannabinoids (endogenous ligands of cannabinoid receptors) such as anandamide (N-arachidonoylethanolamine) and 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) are inactivated upon enzymatic hydrolysis. Recent progress in the enzymological and molecular biological studies on the 'endocannabinoid hydrolases' is reviewed in this article.

European Journal of Lipid Science and Technology, 2006
The endocannabinoid system embraces a group of lipid molecules, enzymes and receptor proteins. This system appears to be involved in the modulation of neurotransmitter release thereby modifying learning and memory, in the regulation of food intake, and in the modulation of inflammation and pain and several other physiological/pathophysiological ...

Essays in Biochemistry, 2020
Abstract Thirty years ago, the discovery of a cannabinoid (CB) receptor that interacts with the psychoactive compound in Cannabis led to the identification of anandamide, an endogenous receptor ligand or endocannabinoid. Research on endocannabinoids has since exploded, and additional receptors along with their lipid mediators and ...

Endocannabinoid-Based Therapies
Annual Review of Pharmacology and Toxicology, 2022The endocannabinoids are lipid-derived messengers that play a diversity of regulatory roles in mammalian physiology. Dysfunctions in their activity have been implicated in various disease conditions, attracting attention to the endocannabinoid system as a possible source of therapeutic drugs.

Endocannabinoids and Nutrition
Journal of Neuroendocrinology, 2008The endocannabinoids anandamide (AEA) and 2‐arachidonoylglycerol (2‐AG) are bioactive lipids derived from the n‐6 family of polyunsaturated fatty acids that are essential fatty acids. Symptoms of essential fatty acid deficiency in rats – growth retardation, scaly skin, and increased transepidermal water loss – can mainly be attributed to lack of ...

Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, 2016
Sleep is regulated by several brain structures, neurotransmitters and neuromodulators. Endocannabinoids (eCBs) are a group of lipids with modulatory activity in the brain and bind mainly to cannabinoid receptors CB1R and CB2R, thereby modulating several brain functions, (memory, mood, food intake, pain perception).

Endocannabinoids and Neuroprotection
Science Signaling, 2002Traumatic brain injury (TBI) releases harmful mediators that lead to secondary damage. On the other hand, neuroprotective mediators are also released, and the balance between these classes of mediators determines the final outcome after injury. Recently, it was shown that the endogenous brain cannabinoids anandamide and 2-Arachidonoyl glycerol (2-AG ...

Phytocannabinoids and Endocannabinoids
Current Drug Abuse Reviewse, 2009Progress in understanding the molecular mechanisms of cannabis action was made after discovery of cannabinoid receptors in the brain and the finding of endogenous metabolites with affinity to them. Activation of cannabinoid receptors on synaptic terminals results in regulation of ion channels, neurotransmitter release and synaptic plasticity ...

Endocannabinoid Receptor Pharmacology
2009This chapter will review the basic pharmacology of endocannabinoid receptors. As the best-described cannabinoid receptors are G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), those will be the focus of this chapter. We will start with a basic review of GPCR signaling, as these concepts are critical to understanding the function of cannabinoid receptors.

Abstract The endocannabinoids are part of a large family of lipid signaling molecules derived from arachidonic acid, including the prostaglandins and leukotrienes, which are important mediators of inflammation. Far less is known about the newer members of the endocannabinoid group, and it remains unclear whether they all play important ...
