The nucleus accumbens (Acb) shell and core are essential components of neural circuitry mediating the reward and motor effects produced by activation of dopamine D2 or cannabinoid-1 (CB1) receptors. D2 receptors can form heterodimeric complexes with

We have established a clonal cell line derived from rat microglia that proliferates in response to macrophage-colony stimulating factor (CSF-1). Like primary neonatal microglia, these cells (named RTMGL1) exhibit a ramified morphology, bind isolectin

Microglia, as phagocytes and antigen-presenting cells in the central nervous system, are activated in such disease processes as stroke and multiple sclerosis. Because peripheral macrophages are capable of producing endocannabinoids, we have examined

Arachidonylethanolamide (AEA), the putative endogenous ligand of the cannabinoid receptor, has been shown to be a substrate for lipoxygenase enzymes in vitro. One goal of this study was to determine whether lipoxygenase-rich cells metabolize AEA. [14

Endocannabiniods are lipid signalling molecules that are related to the major psychoactive component in marijuana, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol and are increasingly recognized as being important in implantation and development of early embryos. The e

Rearing rats in isolation has been shown to produce behavioral and neurochemical alterations similar to those observed in psychoses such as schizophrenia. Also, a dysregulation in both the endocannabinoid and dopaminergic systems has been implicated

Dopamine and endogenous cannabinoids display complex interactions in the basal ganglia. One possible level of interaction is between CB1 cannabinoid and D2 dopamine receptors. Here, we demonstrate that a regulated association of CB1 and D2 receptors

In recent years, it has been demonstrated that high circulating levels of the endogenous cannabinoid anandamide, resulting from low expression of its metabolizing enzyme fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH), may contribute to spontaneous miscarriage and

The hypothesis of these studies is that ligand efficacy at the neuronal CB1 receptor is dependent on the ratio of ligand affinities for the active and inactive states of the receptor. Agonist efficacy was determined in rat cerebellar membranes using

Cerebellar granule cells (CGCs) express the CB(1) subtype of cannabinoid receptor. CB(1) receptor agonists Win 55212-2, CP55940 and HU210 inhibit KCl-induced activation of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) in CGCs. Win 55212-2 has no effect on either basal
