Newest firstFatty 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 str…
Open article record in new tab ↗Abstract This paper presents a shared perspective from scientists and clinicians seeking to harness the therapeutic potential of cannabis while addressing Cannabis Use Disorder (CUD) through reproducible scientific findings. Acute cannabis use may produce temporary well-being, but chronic use can create a “pseudo-feeling” of well-being, leading to tolerance, discomfort, and adverse effects. Rather than blocking CN…
Fatty acid binding protein 7 (FABP7) is present in the brain, but its interaction with the endocannabinoid system and phytocannabinoids is still not well understood. FABP7 has been proposed as a shuttle protein for trafficking endogenous cannabinoids, as well as an intracellular carrier of THC. In a mouse model of FABP7 global deletion, we used ultra-high performance liquid chromatography- tandem mass spectrometry…
Cannabis is one of the most commonly used and abused illicit drugs in the world today. The United States (US) currently has the highest annual prevalence rate of cannabis consumption in the world, 17.9% in individuals aged 12 or older, and it is on the rise. With increasing cannabis use comes the potential for an increase in abuse, and according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAM…
Open article record in new tab ↗The therapeutic properties of cannabinoids have been well demonstrated but are overshadowed by such adverse effects as cognitive and motor dysfunction, as well as their potential for addiction. Recent research on the natural lipid ligands of cannabinoid receptors, also known as endocannabinoids, has shed light on the mechanisms of intracellular transport of the endocannabinoid anandamide by fatty acid-binding prot…
