Endocannabinoids in the central nervous system--an overview.
Many aspects of the physiology and pharmacology of anandamide (arachidonoyl ethanol amide), the first endogenous cannabinoid ligand ("endocannabinoid") isolated from pig brain, have been studied since its discovery in 1992. Ethanol amides from other fatty acids have also been identified as endocannabinoids with similar in vivo and in vitro pharmacological properties. 2-Arachidonoyl glycerol and...

متن کاملAn Overview on Platelet-derived Microparticles in Platelet Concentrates: blood collection, method preparation and storage
Preparations of platelet concentrates (PCs) that are stored under blood bank conditions and used for transfusion purposes, appear to be enriched in platelet derived-microparticles (PMPs) with high coagulant activity that may change platelet efficacy and safety issues. High shear stress could cause shedding of PMPs from the platelet plasma membrane, platelet aggregation, and activation of the co...
متن کاملRed blood cell-derived microparticles: An overview.
The red blood cell (RBC) is historically the original parent cell of microparticles (MPs). In this overview, we describe the discovery and the early history of red cell-derived microparticles (RMPs) and present an overview of the evolution of RMP. We report the formation, characteristics, effects of RMP and factors which may affect RMP evaluation. The review examines RMP derived from both norma...
متن کاملEndocannabinoids: an appetite for fat.
I t has been known for decades that marijuana causes the “munchies,” i.e., a hunger for palatable food, and for more than 10 y that endocannabinoids (eCBs), in some ways marijuana’s counterpart in the organism, are orexigenic mediators (1). When injected in the hypothalamus (HT) or nucleus accumbens (NAc), two key brain areas for the homeostatic and hedonic control of food intake, these compoun...
