Type 1 cannabinoid receptor-containing axons innervate hypophysiotropic thyrotropin-releasing hormone-synthesizing neurons. [PDF]

, 2009
Hypophysiotropic TRH-synthesizing neurons of the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) have a critical role in the regulation of the energy homeostasis through control of the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis.

Muscarinic cannabinoid suppression of excitation, a novel form of coincidence detection

Pharmacological Research
Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the chief psychoactive ingredient of cannabis, acts in the brain primarily via cannabinoid CB1 receptors. These receptors are implicated in several forms of synaptic plasticity – depolarization-induced suppression of ...

Signal detection and characterisation of a novel drug–drug interaction between methadone and a synthetic cannabinoid receptor agonist

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Little is known about how synthetic cannabinoid receptor agonist (SCRA) co‐use with other psychoactive substances may exacerbate risk of death. This study aimed to characterise the polypharmacy of deaths where SCRAs were detected at post‐mortem, investigate the cardiotoxicity of SCRAs and probe their inhibition of human ether‐a ...

Transmembrane Helical Domain of the Cannabinoid CB1 Receptor [PDF]

Biophysical Journal, 2009
Brain cannabinoid (CB(1)) receptors are G-protein coupled receptors and belong to the rhodopsin-like subfamily. A homology model of the inactive state of the CB(1) receptor was constructed using the x-ray structure of beta(2)-adrenergic receptor (beta(2)AR) as the template.

The ongoing oleoylethanolamide story: Therapeutic implications in the control of obesity and its comorbidities

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
The global burden of obesity continues to rise, demanding effective pharmacological strategies for individuals in whom prevention alone is insufficient. Recent incretin‐based and multi‐agonist therapies have delivered unprecedented weight loss, demonstrating that the simultaneous modulation of multiple metabolic pathways can optimize body weight ...

Circadian disruption elicits sex‐specific gut microbiota, endocannabinoidome, and lipid mediator responses

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Circadian disruption via constant light induces sex‐specific remodeling of the microbiome, lipid mediators, and immune responses. Females exhibit broader gut microbiota alterations, reduced jejunal oxylipins, increased hypothalamic N‐acylethanolamines, and a more inflammatory cytokine profile. Muscle responses are sex‐ and fiber type‐dependent: females

Cellular Distribution of Canonical and Putative Cannabinoid Receptors in Canine Cervical Dorsal Root Ganglia

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2019
Growing evidence indicates cannabinoid receptors as potential therapeutic targets for chronic pain. Consequently, there is an increasing interest in developing cannabinoid receptor agonists for treating human and veterinary pain. To better understand the

Assessment of Cannabidiol Supplements Use in Small Animals Practice in Portugal

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study aimed to assess the current use of cannabidiol supplements (CBDS) by Portuguese small animal veterinary practitioners. An anonymous online survey questioning the frequency of CBDS use, purpose of use and the perceived outcome was developed using Microsoft Forms, and targeted veterinarians currently working in small animal clinics in

Maternal obesity during lactation as a hypertensive cardiovascular risk factor in the offspring

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Maternal obesity is a major public health concern, with growing evidence supporting its role in the developmental programming of cardiometabolic disease. Although prenatal mechanisms have been investigated extensively, the contribution of lactation as a postnatal window of cardiovascular (CV) programming remains insufficiently understood ...
