Gray Matter Volume Loss in Parkinson's Disease Psychosis and Cannabinoid Receptor Gene Expression in the Brain

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 ...

New Perspectives in the Studies on Endocannabinoid and Cannabis: Abnormal Behaviors Associate With CB1 Cannabinoid Receptor and Development of Therapeutic Application

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2004
Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC), the major psychoactive component of marijuana, induces catalepsy-like immobilization and impairment of spatial memory in rats. Δ9-THC also induces aggressive behavior in isolated housing stress.

Role of endocannabinoids and cannabinoid-1 receptors in cerebrocortical blood flow regulation. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Endocannabinoids are among the most intensively studied lipid mediators of cardiovascular functions. In the present study the effects of decreased and increased activity of the endocannabinoid system (achieved by cannabinoid-1 (CB1) receptor blockade and

Disrupted endocannabinoid signaling contributes to systemic inflammation in acute pancreatitis

The Journal of Pathology, EarlyView.
Abstract Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory disease that can lead to systemic complications in severe cases. The endocannabinoid system has emerged as a potential modulator of inflammation in AP. We investigated the role of the endocannabinoid 2‐arachidonoylglycerol (2‐AG) and the cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2 during AP.

Heterodimerization of apelin receptor and neurotensin receptor 1 induces phosphorylation of ERK1/2and cell proliferationviaGαq-mediated mechanism [PDF]

, 2014
Dimerization of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) is crucial for receptor function including agonist affinity, efficacy, trafficking and specificity of signal transduction, including G protein coupling.

Involvement of the endocannabinoid system in the inhibition of Sindbis virus replication: a preliminary study

Journal of Cannabis Research, 2021
Background Sindbis virus (Alphaviridae) is a plus-strand RNA virus that is dependent on the host cell for replication. Cannabinoid (CB) receptors are found on most human cells, including virally infected cells.

Intravenous paracetamol does not have significant opioid‐sparing effects when used as part of a multimodal analgesic protocol in dogs undergoing elective orthopaedic surgery

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Data evaluating paracetamol combined with NSAIDs in dogs are scarce. Results of clinical studies in dogs investigating intravenous paracetamol vary. Methods Dogs were randomised to either receive 10 mg/kg paracetamol intravenously after induction of anaesthesia and every 8 hours during hospitalisation (test) or not (control).

Endocannabinoid Release Modulates Electrical Coupling between CCK Cells Connected via Chemical and Electrical Synapses in CA1.

, 2011
Electrical coupling between some subclasses of interneurons is thought to promote coordinated firing that generates rhythmic synchronous activity in cortical regions.
