Cannabinoid type 1 receptor gene polymorphism and macronutrient intake.
BACKGROUND Cannabinoid type 1 receptor (CB1-R) is a key mediator in the control of food intake and is linked to obesity. AIM To evaluate the relationship between CB1-R gene polymorphism and dietary macronutrient intake in elderly subjects. METHODS This study included 118 subjects (60 males, 58 females) from a population survey carried out in southern Italy in 1992-1993 who were older than 6...
متن کاملAngiotensin-II type 1 receptor gene polymorphism and diabetic microangiopathy.
BACKGROUND Genotypic abnormalities of the renin-angiotensin system have been suggested as risk factors for the development of hypertension, diabetic nephropathy and proliferative retinopathy. Most of the known actions of angiotensin-II are exerted through the angiotensin-II type 1 receptor, which is present particularly in vascular smooth muscle cells, myocardium and the kidney. A transversion ...
متن کاملCannabinoid receptor type-1: breaking the dogmas
The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is abundantly expressed in the brain. This system regulates a plethora of physiological functions and is composed of cannabinoid receptors, their endogenous ligands (endocannabinoids), and the enzymes involved in the metabolism of endocannabinoids. In this review, we highlight the new advances in cannabinoid signaling, focusing on a key component of the ECS, the...
متن کاملCannabinoid receptor 1 (CNR1) gene polymorphisms in schizophrenia patients: Rs6454674 polymorphism is associated with disease severity
INTRODUCTION: It is considered that schizophrenia is caused by a combination of multiple elements, such as genetic, biological, environmental, and psychological factors. According to this view, people may have a genetic predisposition for schizophrenia, but the disease may not emerge if some other factors are not added. Among these factors are birth complications that can cause mutagenesis or a...
متن کاملAttenuation Effect of Cannabinoid Type 1 Receptor Activation on Methamphetamine-Induced Neurodegeneration and Locomotion Impairments among Male Rats
Background: A number of neuroimaging studies on human addicts have revealed that abuse of Methamphetamine (METH) can induce neurodegenerative changes in various brain regions like the cerebral cortex and cerebellum. Although the underlying mechanisms of METH-induced neurotoxicity have been studied, the cellular and molecular mechanisms of METH-induced neurotoxicity remain to be clarified. Previ...
