Anandamide (arachidonylethanolamide) and 2-arachidonoylglycerol mediate many of their
actions via either CB1 or CB2 cannabinoid receptor subtypes. These agonist-receptor …

The long-term depression (LTD) of parallel fiber (PF) synapses onto Purkinje cells plays a
central role in motor learning. Endocannabinoid release and LTD induction both depend …

2-Arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) is a unique molecular species of monoacylglycerol isolated
from rat brain and canine gut as an endogenous cannabinoid receptor ligand (Sugiura, T …

Oxidative stress and inflammation play critical roles in the development of diabetes and its
complications. Recent studies provided compelling evidence that the newly discovered lipid …

The fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH), is the enzyme responsible for the hydrolysis of
anandamide, an endocannabinoid. The FAAH knockout, the assays for FAAH, the activity of …

An endothelium‐derived hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF) that is distinct from nitric oxide (NO)
and prostanoids has been widely hypothesized to hyperpolarize and relax vascular smooth …

The endocannabinoids, a family of endogenous lipids that activate cannabinoid receptors,
are released from cells in a stimulus-dependent manner by cleavage of membrane lipid …

Ectopic pregnancy is a major reproductive health issue. Although other underlying causes
remain largely unknown, one cause of ectopic pregnancy is embryo retention in the fallopian …

We have recently reported that in bone the cannabinoid CB1 receptor is present in
sympathetic terminals. Here we show that traumatic brain injury (TBI), which in humans …

The kidneys can be injured in diverse ways by many drugs, both legal and illegal. Novel
