The therapeutic aspects of the endocannabinoid system (ECS) for cancer and their development: from nature to laboratory [PDF]
, 2016 The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a group of neuromodulatory lipids and their receptors, which are widely distributed in mammalian tissues. ECS regulates various cardiovascular, nervous, and immune system functions inside cells.

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 ...

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.

Acute stress modulates hippocampal to entorhinal cortex communication
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2023 Feed-forward inhibition is vital in the transfer and processing of synaptic information within the hippocampal–entorhinal loop by controlling the strength and direction of excitation flow between different neuronal populations and individual neurons ...

Modulation of pilocarpine-induced seizures by cannabinoid receptor 1. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Administration of the muscarinic agonist pilocarpine is commonly used to induce seizures in rodents for the study of epilepsy. Activation of muscarinic receptors has been previously shown to increase the production of endocannabinoids in the brain ...

Identification of a Widespread Palmitoylethanolamide Contamination in Standard Laboratory Glassware. [PDF]
, 2017 Introduction: Fatty acid ethanolamides (FAEs) are a family of lipid mediators that participate in a host of biological functions. Procedures for the quantitative analysis of FAEs include organic solvent extraction from biological matrices (e.g., blood ...
