Newest firstThe mechanisms regulating seasonal transitions between reproduction and feeding behavior are not well understood. Endocannabinoids modulate neuronal signaling in reproductive, metabolic and locomotive control centers and are widely distributed throughout the vertebrate nervous system, making them a strong candidate for facilitating seasonal transitions. Using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry, we aske…
Open article record in new tab ↗Chagas disease affects 6-7 million people worldwide and causes approximately 12,000 deaths annually. Diagnostic methods vary by disease stage, with serological tests commonly used in the chronic phase, while microscopy and molecular techniques like PCR and LAMP are employed in the acute phase. While microscopy remains the most accessible tool in resource constrained settings, its effectiveness depends on skilled p…
Open article record in new tab ↗Cannabis use stimulates calorie intake, but epidemiological studies show that people who regularly use it are leaner than those who don't. Two explanations have been proposed for this paradoxical finding. One posits that Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in cannabis desensitizes adipose CB1 cannabinoid receptors, stopping their stimulating effects on lipogenesis and adipogenesis. Another explanation is that THC exposu…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Endocannabinoids and related N-acylethanolamines (NAEs) are bioactive lipids with important physiological functions and putative roles in mental health and addictions. Although chronic cannabis use is associated with endocannabinoid system changes, the status of circulating endocannabinoids and related NAEs in people with cannabis use disorder (CUD) is uncertain. Methods Eleven individuals with CUD and…
