Why This Matters

This item covers developments relevant to cannabis medicine and clinical practice. Clinicians monitoring evidence in this area should review the source material.

Clinical Summary

Fatty acid-binding protein 7 (FABP7) assists in the intracellular trafficking of endogenous cannabinoids and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and has been implicated for various psychiatric diseases. Rising evidence demonstrates the crosstalk between the endocannabinoid and dopaminergic systems, particularly in response to stress. The present study seeks to examine the role of FABP7 expression under chronic stress conditions and its impact on the dopaminergic system, specifically dopamine D1 receptor (D1R) and dopamine D2 receptor (D2R) levels.
