The Clinical Significance of Endocannabinoids in Endometriosis Pain Management
Endometriosis occurs when the endometrial tissue, which normally lines the inside of a woman’s uterus, grows outside of the uterus – in the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and the membrane lining the pelvis for instance. This disorder affects…
The Endocannabinoid System Modulating Levels of Consciousness, Emotions and Likely Dream Contents
The endogenous cannabinoid system is a signaling system of the human body that comprises endocannabinoids (such as anandamide and 2-AG), cell-surface receptors (CB1 and CB2), as well as proteins responsible for the synthesis, degradation and transport of…
Tetrahydrocannabinol-Rich Extracts From Cannabis Sativa L. Improve Glucose Consumption and Modulate Metabolic Complications Linked to Neurodegenerativ
Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), a major constituent of the plant cannabis, can interact with endocannabinoid receptors abundant on neurons, thereby affecting multiple neuronal processes. In particular, a group of scientists recently investigated the ability…
Adolescent CB1 receptor antagonism influences subsequent social interactions and neural activity in female rats
The endogenous cannabinoid system (ECS), which consists of endocannabinoids – signalling lipid molecules, cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2 that they bind to, and enzymes that metabolize and transport them, has recently emerged as a likely…
Dry eye and its link to cannabis and the endocannabinoid signaling system
THC Regulates Tearing via Cannabinoid CB1 Receptors In Summary: Over the past decade, changes in the legal status of cannabis in many US states have been accompanied by increasing cannabis use; however, the effects of its consumption on eye health are…
The expression of cannabinoid receptors in sperm cells is correlated with sperm maturation and quality
Evaluation of cannabinoid receptors Type 1 and Type 2 mRNA expression in mature versus immature spermatozoa from fertile and infertile males In Summary: The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a signalling system of the human body that comprises endogenous…
Abnormalities in the endocannabinoid system are associated with common female reproductive disorders
The fundamental role of the endocannabinoid system in endometrium and placenta: implications in pathophysiological aspects of uterine and pregnancy disorders In Summary The endocannabinoid system (ECS) consists of cannabinoids produced naturally by the…
The endocannabinoid system mediates the enhanced analgesia and GI safety advantage of a newly developed NSAID derivative
Enhanced Analgesic Effects and GI Safety of A Novel Hydrogen Sulfide‐Releasing Anti‐Inflammatory Drug (ATB‐352): A Role for Endogenous Cannabinoids In Summary Nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the preferable alternatives to opioids in…
The use of cannabis for pain management: Potential side effects on myofascial tissues of the musculoskeletal system.
Sensitivity of the Fasciae to the Endocannabinoid System: Production of Hyaluronan-Rich Vesicles and Potential Peripheral Effects of Cannabinoids in Fascial Tissue In Summary Myofascial tissue is a thin, strong, fibrous connective tissue that extends…
The endocannabinoid receptor CB2 is a regulator of trauma-inducing anxiety and a potential target for PTSD drugs
Cannabinoid CB2 receptors mediate the anxiolytic-like effects of monoacylglycerol lipase inhibition in a rat model of predator-induced fear In Summary Researchers recently identified a signaling pathway in the endocannabinoid system that regulates…
