Abstract Cannabinoid CB 2 receptors (CB 2 Rs) are emerging as important therapeutic
targets in brain disorders that typically involve neurometabolic alterations. We here …

Cannabinoid CB1 receptor (CB1R) activation decreases synaptic GABAergic and
glutamatergic transmission and it also controls peripheral metabolism. Here we aimed at …

Here we asked if insulin activation of the nucleus accumbens in vitro is reflected by an
increase in 3 H-deoxyglucose ([3 H] DG) uptake, thus subserving a new model to study …

Several techniques exist to study the rate of glucose uptake and metabolism in the brain but
most of them are not sufficiently robust to permit extensive pharmacological analysis. Here …

Both endocannabinoids and insulin regulate peripheral and cerebral glucose homeostasis
via convergent signaling pathways that are impacted by diabetes. Here we asked how …

This work started from the known premise that, in the brain, glucose availability regulates
memory and cognition in both healthy humans and dementia patients. Furthermore, cerebral …

Background and aims: The endocannabinoid system affects energy balance and glucose
metabolism through the central control of feeding behaviour. The reward area, nucleus …

A insulina eo sistema endocanabinóide (eCB) exercem funções muito importantes no
organismo, tanto na periferia como no cérebro. Algumas destas funções são …

Insulin and the endocannabinoid (eCB) system have important and common functions in
both peripheral and brain metabolism. This is due to the overlapping of their intracellular …
