Newest firstPeripheral cannabinoid CB1 receptor antagonists that lack central nervous system effects are emerging as promising therapies for metabolic disease, yet the role of endothelial CB1 signaling in atherosclerosis remains unclear. Here, we show that endothelial CB1 is expressed in human atherosclerotic plaques, is induced by oscillatory shear stress in atheroprone flow regions, and promotes vascular inflammation, perme…
Open article record in new tab ↗Aims Although the cannabinoid CB1 receptor has been implicated in atherosclerosis, its cell-specific effects in this disease are not well understood. To address this, we generated a transgenic mouse model to study the role of myeloid CB1 signalling in atherosclerosis. Methods and results Here, we report that male mice with myeloid-specific Cnr1 deficiency on atherogenic background developed smaller lesions and nec…
Context Lily bulb and Rehmannia decoction (LBRD), consisting of Lilium henryi Baker (Liliaceae) and Rehmannia glutinosa (Gaertn) DC (Plantaginaceae), is a specialized traditional Chinese medicine formula for treating depression. However, the underlying mechanisms, especially the relationship between LBRD efficacy and metabolomics, remains unclear. Objective This study was aimed to investigate the metabolic mechani…
In insects, chitinases participate in the periodic shedding of old exoskeletons and the turnover of peritrophic membranes. Chitinase family members have been identified in dozens of species, including Tribolium castaneum, Drosophila melanogaster, and Anopheles gambiae. In this study, nine chitinases and three hypothetical chitinases have been identified in Bombyx mori L. (Lepidoptera: Bombycidae) through genome-wi…
