Abstract Aims To describe differences in the expression of genes encoding cannabinoid receptors (CNR1, CNR2), the associated receptor GRP55 and the enzymes fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) and monoacylglycerol lipase (MGLL) between individuals with alcohol use disorder (AUD) and controls in key mesocorticolimbic brain regions.

The dual FAAH/MAGL inhibitor JZL195 has enhanced effects on endocannabinoid transmission and motor behavior in rats as compared to those of the MAGL inhibitor JZL184 [PDF]
The biological actions of the endocannabinoids anandamide and 2-arachidonoyl glycerol (2-AG) are terminated by enzymatic hydrolysis of these lipids via fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) and monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL), respectively. While several selective FAAH inhibitors have been developed and characterized in vitro and in vivo, none of the ...

Background CXC-chemokine receptor 2 (CXCR2) expression was found to be down-regulated on circulating monocytes of cancer patients. Here, we analyze the percentage of CD14+CXCR2+ monocyte subsets in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients, and investigate

Cardiac remodelling and fibrosis after myocardial infarction or during chronic diseases, such as arterial and pulmonary hypertension or diabetes mellitus, continue to be the more important prognostic factors in determining survival, and so the search for effective anti‐fibrotic interventions is an important target for research and therapy in cardiology.

Endocannabinoid-metabolizing enzymes are downregulated in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation in mice, which may serve as a negative feedback mechanism to increase endocannabinoid levels and reduce inflammation.

Microvascular Effects of Endocannabinoid Signaling in Sepsis: A Mechanistic and Systematic Review
ABSTRACT Microvascular dysfunction is a central determinant of organ failure in sepsis, reflecting early endothelial activation, increased permeability, and impaired capillary perfusion. Experimental evidence suggests that the endocannabinoid system (ECS) modulates these immunovascular processes, yet mechanistic insights remain dispersed across ...

Monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) is the principal enzyme responsible for hydrolysis of the endocannabinoid, 2-arachidonylglycerol (2-AG). MAGL is universally expressed as a ~33 kDa protein.

Inflammation in the brain and periphery has been associated with stress-related pathology of mental illness. We have shown that prostaglandin (PG) E2, an arachidonic acid-derived lipid mediator, and innate immune receptors Toll-like receptor (TLR) 2/4 ...

Pathological Roles of Astrocytes in Traumatic Brain Injury
TBI induces intrinsic astrocytic changes, including reactive astrogliosis, A1 and A2 polarization, ion channels activation, pathological edema, oxidative stress, and metabolic dysregulation. These injury‐responsive astrocytes regulate neuroinflammation and tissue remodeling through dynamic crosstalk with microglia, macrophages, vascular endothelial ...

Abstract Pyrophacus horologium belongs to the family Pyrocystaceae and was recently identified as a mixotrophic dinoflagellate capable of feeding on other dinoflagellates. In this study, the growth and feeding responses of P. horologium were investigated under various environmental conditions by providing Heterocapsa niei, its preferred prey.
