Background: Marijuana extracts (cannabinoids) have been used for several millennia for
pain treatment. Regarding the site of action, cannabinoids are highly promiscuous …

Based on the results of research conducted over last two decades, lysophospholipids (LPLs)
were observed to be not only structural components of cellular membranes but also …

Emerging data suggest that off-target cannabinoid effects may be mediated via novel seven-
transmembrane spanning/G protein-coupled receptors. Due to its cannabinoid sensitivity …

Lysophosphatidylinositols (LPIs) are membrane constituents that alter the properties of said
membranes. However, recent data showing that the once orphan receptor, GPR55, can act …

Lysophosphatidylinositol (LPI) is a bioactive lipid generated by phospholipase A2 which is
believed to play an important role in several diseases. Indeed LPI can affect various …

Adding lysolecithin to feed has reportedly improved the performance of broiler chickens.
Lysolecithin is generated by phospholipase catalyzed hydrolysis of lecithin. The enzymatic …

Metabolism is a chemical process used by cells to transform food-derived nutrients, such as
proteins, carbohydrates and fats, into chemical and thermal energy. Whenever an alteration …

Aims The novel cannabinoid receptor GPR55 is expressed by rodent islets and it has been
implicated in β‐cell function in response to a range of ligands. This study evaluated the …

GPR55 belongs to the class A family of G-protein coupled receptor (GPCRs) and its activity
is regulated by a range of synthetic and endogenous cannabinoids, and by lipid-derived …
