Newest firstRecently, the potential use of phytocannabinoids (pCBs) to treat different pathological conditions has attracted great attention in the scientific community. Among the different pCBs, cannabidiol (CBD) has showed interesting biological properties, making it a promising molecule with a high security profile that has been approved for treatment as an add-on therapy in patients afflicted by severe pharmaco-resistant…
Open article record in new tab ↗Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a highly prevalent, chronic joint disorder, and it is a typical disease which can develop chronic pain. Our previous study has proved that endocannabinoid (2-AG)-CB1R-GABA-5-HT pathway is involved in electroacupuncture (EA) mediated inhibition of chronic pain. However, it is still unclear which among the 5-HT receptor subtype is involved in EA evoked 5-HT mediated inhibition of chronic…
Immunomodulation is increasingly being recognised as a part of mental diseases. Here, we examined whether levels of immunological protein markers changed with depression, age, or the inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). An analysis of plasma samples from patients with a major depressive episode and control blood donors (CBD) revealed the expression of 67 inflammatory markers. Thirteen of the…
We have shown previously that the cannabinoid receptor agonist CP55940 microinjected into the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVN) of urethane-anaesthetized rats induces depressor and pressor cardiovascular effects in the absence and presence of the CB1 antagonist AM251, respectively. The aim of our study was to examine whether the hypotension and/or hypertension induced by CP55940 given into the PVN…
Background The endocannabinoid system interacts extensively with other neurotransmitter systems and has been implicated in a variety of functions, including regulation of basal ganglia circuits and motor behavior. The present study examined the effects of repeated administration of the nonselective cannabinoid receptor 1 agonist WIN55,212-2 on locomotor activity and on binding and mRNA levels of dopamine receptors…
