Endocannabinoid Signaling Regulates Sleep Stability
The hypnogenic properties of cannabis have been recognized for centuries, but endogenous cannabinoid (endocannabinoid) regulation of vigilance states is poorly characterized. We report findings from a series of experiments in mice measuring sleep with polysomnography after various systemic pharmacological manipulations of the endocannabinoid system. Rapid, unbiased scoring of vigilance states w...
متن کاملCentral Endocannabinoid Signaling Regulates Hepatic Glucose Production and Systemic Lipolysis
OBJECTIVE The endocannabinoid (EC) system has been implicated as an important regulator of energy homeostasis. In obesity and type 2 diabetes, EC tone is elevated in peripheral tissues including liver, muscle, fat, and also centrally, particularly in the hypothalamus. Cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB₁) blockade with the centrally and peripherally acting rimonabant induces weight loss and improve...
متن کاملDecoding endocannabinoid signaling.
JZL184, is a covalent inactivator that exhibits a half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) for MAGL of 8 nM (its IC50 for FAAH is 4 μM). JZL184 doesn’t inhibit any of 40 other serine hydrolases in the mouse brain membrane proteome. When administered to mice, JZL184 inhibits MAGL activity by 85% and induces a prolonged eightfold increase in the level of 2-AG in the brain while not increasing...
متن کاملEndocannabinoid signaling in the brain.
The primary psychoactive ingredient in cannabis, Delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Delta9-THC), affects the brain mainly by activating a specific receptor (CB1). CB1 is expressed at high levels in many brain regions, and several endogenous brain lipids have been identified as CB1 ligands. In contrast to classical neurotransmitters, endogenous cannabinoids can function as retrograde synaptic messenge...
متن کاملEndocannabinoid Signaling and Synaptic Function
Endocannabinoids are key modulators of synaptic function. By activating cannabinoid receptors expressed in the central nervous system, these lipid messengers can regulate several neural functions and behaviors. As experimental tools advance, the repertoire of known endocannabinoid-mediated effects at the synapse, and their underlying mechanism, continues to expand. Retrograde signaling is the p...
