Newest firstThe cannabinoid receptor type 2 (CB2R), primarily expressed in microglia, the brain's resident immune cells, acts as a central regulator of neuroinflammatory responses. When CB2R is activated, it triggers anti-inflammatory signaling, making it a promising target for modulating microglial function in neuroinflammatory diseases. The ketone body, β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), is gaining attention as a therapeutic agent fo…
Open article record in new tab ↗Objective To investigate the association of plasma levels of endocannabinoids with fecal microbiota. Methods Plasma levels of endocannabinoids, anandamide (AEA) and 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG), as well as their eleven analogues, and arachidonic acid (AA), were measured using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry in 92 young adults. DNA extracted from stool samples was analyzed using 16S rRNA gene sequen…
LH-21 is a triazol derivative that has been described as a low-permeant neutral CB1 antagonist, though its pharmacology is still unclear. It has been associated with anti-obesity actions in obese rats. However, its role in preventing type 2 diabetes (T2D) onset have not been studied yet. Given CB1 receptors remain as potential pharmacological targets to fight against obesity and T2D, we wanted to explore the metab…
