Lipidomics reveals multiple pathway effects of a multi-components preparation on lipid biochemistry in ApoE*3Leiden.CETP mice. [PDF]
Causes and consequences of the complex changes in lipids occurring in the metabolic syndrome are only partly understood. Several interconnected processes are deteriorating, which implies that multi-target approaches might be more successful than ...

The psychiatric side-effects of rimonabant [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: Experimental evidence has suggested that drugs that enhance cannabinoid type-1 (CB1) receptor activity may induce anxiolytic and antidepressant effects, whilst the opposite has been reported with antagonists. Thus, the objective of the present review is to discuss the potential psychiatric side-effects of CB1 receptor antagonists, such as ...

ABSTRACT Background Many people use cannabis to self‐medicate for pain. Little is known about the impact of pain on tolerance and spontaneous withdrawal to delta‐9‐tetrahydrocannabinal (THC), the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis. Our previous research with the opioid morphine suggests persistent pain will increase the magnitude and duration of

Efficacy of rimonabant in obese patients with binge eating disorder
In obesity, a dysregulation of the endocannabinoid system has been shown. The endocannabinoid receptor blockage by rimonabant demonstrated interesting metabolic effects.

This study investigates the mycobacterial membrane protein MmpL3, a key target for new antituberculosis drugs, by combining high‐resolution crystallography and computational simulations. It reveals how the inhibitor UPAR‐1109 binds to MmpL3, providing detailed insights into the function and flexibility of the protein and supporting the rational design ...

Vanilloid VR1 receptor is involved in rimonabant-induced neuroprotection
1 Recently, a potential neuroprotective effect of rimonabant, independent of the CB1 receptor interaction, has been proposed. In the present study, the role of transient receptor potential channel vanilloid subfamily member 1, named VR1, on ...

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.
