An Operant Conditioning Task to Assess the Choice between Wheel Running and Palatable Food in Mice

open access: yesBio-Protocol, 2019
Wheel running, especially in the homecage, has been widely used to study the neurobiology of exercise because animal tends to use it voluntarily.

Plasma concentrations of endocannabinoids and related primary Fatty Acid amides in patients with post-traumatic stress disorder. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Endocannabinoids (ECs) and related N-acyl-ethanolamides (NAEs) play important roles in stress response regulation, anxiety and traumatic memories. In view of the evidence that circulating EC levels are elevated under acute mild stressful conditions in ...

The Epigenetics of the Endocannabinoid System [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020
The endocannabinoid system (ES) is a cell-signalling system widely distributed in biological tissues that includes endogenous ligands, receptors, and biosynthetic and hydrolysing machineries. The impairment of the ES has been associated to several pathological conditions like behavioural, neurological, or metabolic disorders and infertility, suggesting

Emerging mechanisms by which endocannabinoids and their derivatives modulate bacterial populations within the gut microbiome

open access: yesAdvances in Drug and Alcohol Research, 2023
Bioactive lipids such as endocannabinoids serve as important modulators of host health and disease through their effects on various host functions including central metabolism, gut physiology, and immunity.

Effects of parabolic flight and spaceflight on the endocannabinoid system in humans [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The endocannabinoid system (ECS) plays an important role in the regulation of physiological functions, from stress and memory regulation to vegetative control and immunity.

Hair-based biomarkers in women with major depressive disorder: Glucocorticoids, endocannabinoids, N-acylethanolamines, and testosterone

open access: yesComprehensive Psychoneuroendocrinology, 2021
Background: Stress-related alterations in the regulation of several endocrine systems, including the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) and -gonadal (HPG) axes and the endocannabinoid system are proposed to be involved in the etiology of major ...

Release of anandamide from blood cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Background: Endogenous ligands of cannabinoid receptors ( endocannabinoids), in particular anandamide ( arachidonylethanolamide), have been recognized as being of crucial importance in a variety of physiological functions.

Endocannabinoids and Immunity [PDF]

open access: yesCannabis and Cannabinoid Research, 2016
Over the last 10 years, a great boost of knowledge accumulated on the immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties of endocannabinoids (eCBs). In this scenario, these bioactive lipids, which are produced by most immune cells along with a set of receptors and enzymes that regulate their synthesis and degradation, act as secondary modulators and ...

Endocannabinoid Turnover [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In this review, we consider the biosynthetic, hydrolytic, and oxidative metabolism of the endocannabinoids anandamide and 2-arachidonoylglycerol. We describe the enzymes associated with these events and their characterization. We identify the inhibitor profile for these enzymes and the status of therapeutic exploitation, which to date has been limited ...

Interaction between lysophosphatidic acid, prostaglandins and the endocannabinoid system during the window of implantation in the rat uterus.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Bioactive lipid molecules as lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), prostaglandins (PG) and endocannabinoids are important mediators of embryo implantation. Based on previous published data we became interested in studying the interaction between these three ...
