Cannabinoid receptor type-1: breaking the dogmas [version 1; referees: 3 approved]
F1000Research, 2016 The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is abundantly expressed in the brain. This system regulates a plethora of physiological functions and is composed of cannabinoid receptors, their endogenous ligands (endocannabinoids), and the enzymes involved in the ...

Impaired Excitatory Neurotransmission in the Urinary Bladder from the Obese Zucker Rat: Role of Cannabinoid Receptors. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a known risk factor for lower urinary tract symptoms. This study investigates whether functional and expression changes of cannabinoid CB1 and CB2 receptors are involved in the bladder dysfunction in an obese rat model with ...

Neurobiology of Disease, 2005 We have observed that systemic administration of cannabinoid CB1 antagonists exerts antiparkinsonian effects in rats with very severe nigral lesion (>95% cell loss), but not in rats with less severe lesion (85–95% cell loss).

The cannabinoid 1 receptor (CNR1) 1359 G/A polymorphism modulates susceptibility to ulcerative colitis and the phenotype in Crohn's disease. [PDF]
, 2010 Recent evidence suggests a crucial role of the endocannabinoid system, including the cannabinoid 1 receptor (CNR1), in intestinal inflammation. We therefore investigated the influence of the CNR1 1359 G/A (p.Thr453Thr; rs1049353) single nucleotide ...

Expression of the endocannabinoid receptors in human fascial tissue
European Journal of Histochemistry, 2016 Cannabinoid receptors have been localized in the central and peripheral nervous system as well as on cells of the immune system, but recent studies on animal tissue gave evidence for the presence of cannabinoid receptors in different types of tissues ...

2-AG and anandamide enhance hippocampal long-term potentiation via suppression of inhibition
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2022 It is widely accepted that exogenous cannabinoids can impair short-term memory and cognition in humans and other animals. This is likely related to the inhibition of long-term potentiation (LTP), a form of synaptic plasticity, by the global and sustained

Cells, 2023 Cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1) and cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB2) are components in the endocannabinoid system that play significant roles in regulating immune responses. There are many agonists for the cannabinoid receptors; however, their effects on T cell

Novel putative ligands of cannabinoid receptors: synthesis and effects on cell signaling and neuronal functions [PDF]
The Ukrainian Biochemical Journal, 2023 Cannabinoid ligands are known to possess neuroprotective actions and may have utility in the treatment of neurodegeneration. The major targets for cannabinoids include the classical CB1 cannabinoid receptor, as well as the novel cannabinoid receptor ...

Mechanism of the Interaction of Cannabinoid System in Central Amygdale with Opioid System [PDF]
Majallah-i Dānishgāh-i ̒Ulūm-i Pizishkī-i Qum, 2008 Background and objectives Cannabinoids which are active compounds of marijuana show some pharmacological effects similar to the opioids. There are also functional interactions between both cannabinoid and opioid systems. In this study we investigated the

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2012 Cannabinoid agonists impair hippocampus-dependent learning and memory. Using mouse hippocampal slice preparations, we examined the effect of anandamide, an endogenous cannabinoid, on sharp wave–ripple (SW-R) complexes, which are believed to mediate ...
