Newest firstIntracellular emetic signals involved in the cannabinoid CB1 receptor inverse agonist/antagonist SR141716A were investigated. SR141716A (20 mg/kg, i.p.)-evoked vomiting occurred via both the central and peripheral mechanisms. This was accompanied by robust emesis-associated increases in the following: (i) c-fos- and phospho-glycogen synthase kinase-3α/β (p-GSK-3αβ)-expression in the shrew's dorsal vagal complex (D…
Open article record in new tab ↗Cannabis sativa (CS, family Cannabinaceae) has been reported for its anti-emetic activity against cancer chemotherapy-induced emesis in animal models and in clinics. The current study was designed to investigate CS for potential effectiveness to attenuate cisplatin-induced vomiting in healthy pigeons and to study the impact on neurotransmitters involved centrally and peripherally in the act of vomiting. High-perfo…
Open article record in new tab ↗Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) is a complex pathophysiological condition and consists of two phases. The conventional CINV neurotransmitter hypothesis suggests that the immediate phase is mainly due to release of serotonin (5-HT) from the enterochromaffin cells in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), while the delayed phase is a consequence of release of substance P (SP) in the brainstem. However, mo…
Open article record in new tab ↗Approximately one half of cancer patients will experience nausea or vomiting during the course of their disease either because of the cancer itself or because of their treatment. Emesis attributable to cancer warrants a careful investigation to determine whether a treatable underlying cause is responsible. Interventions using dexamethasone and octreotide may reduce vomiting attributable to bowel obstruction. In th…
