Newest firstStreptococcus mutans (S. mutans) is a cariogenic bacterium in the oral cavity that plays a significant role in plaque formation and dental caries. In previous research by our group, we showed that the endocannabinoid anandamide (AEA) has anti-bacterial and anti-biofilm activities against S. mutans. Here, we aimed to investigate its effects on S. mutans through metabolomics analyses. S. mutans was cultivated in the…

Open article record in new tab ↗Background Studies have shown that the chronic use of cannabis is associated with a decrease in blood pressure. Our previous studies prove that activating the cannabinoid type 2 (CB2) receptor in the brain can effectively reduce blood pressure in spontaneously hypertensive rats; however, the exact mechanism has not been clarified. The objective of this study is to demonstrate that activation of microglial CB2 rece…
Skeletal muscle plays a pivotal role in whole-body glucose metabolism, accounting for the highest percentage of glucose uptake and utilization in healthy subjects. Impairment of these key functions occurs in several conditions including sedentary lifestyle and aging, driving toward hyperglycemia and metabolic chronic diseases. Therefore, strategies pointed to improve metabolic health by targeting skeletal muscle b…
