Endocannabinoid metabolism inhibition has no effect on spontaneous fear recovery or extinction resistance in Lister hooded rats (2022)
Journal Article
Warren, W. G., Papagianni, E. P., Hale, E., Brociek, R. A., Cassaday, H. J., & Stevenson, C. W. (2022). Endocannabinoid metabolism inhibition has no effect on spontaneous fear recovery or extinction resistance in Lister hooded rats. Frontiers in Pharmacology, 13, Article 1082760. https://doi.org/10.3389/fphar.2022.1082760

Endocannabinoid transmission is emerging as a target for treating anxiety-related disorders, given its regulation of fear extinction. Boosting anandamide levels via inhibition of its metabolism by fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) can enhance extinct...

Camellia sinensis solvent extract, epigallocatechin gallate and caffeine confer trophocidal and cysticidal effects against Acanthamoeba castellanii. Acta Tropica, 237, Article 106729. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.actatropica.2022.106729

We examined the anti-acanthamoebic efficacy of green tea Camellia sinensis solvent extract (SE) or its chemical constituents against Acanthamoeba castellanii by using anti-trophozoite, anti-encystation, and anti-excystation assays. C. sinensis SE (62... Read More about Camellia sinensis solvent extract, epigallocatechin gallate and caffeine confer trophocidal and cysticidal effects against Acanthamoeba castellanii.

Cannabidiol Prevents Spontaneous Fear Recovery after Extinction and Ameliorates Stress-Induced Extinction Resistance (2022)
Journal Article
Papagianni, E. P., Warren, W. G., Cassaday, H. J., & Stevenson, C. W. (2022). Cannabidiol Prevents Spontaneous Fear Recovery after Extinction and Ameliorates Stress-Induced Extinction Resistance. International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 23(16), Article 9333. https://doi.org/10.3390/ijms23169333

Cannabidiol, the main non-psychotropic constituent of cannabis, has potential as a treatment for anxiety-related disorders since it reduces learned fear expression and enhances fear extinction. The return of fear over time after successful extinction... Read More about Cannabidiol Prevents Spontaneous Fear Recovery after Extinction and Ameliorates Stress-Induced Extinction Resistance.

URB597 induces subtle changes to aggression in adult Lister Hooded rats (2022)
Journal Article
Warren, W. G., Hale, E., Papagianni, E. P., Cassaday, H. J., Stevenson, C. W., & Stubbendorff, C. (2022). URB597 induces subtle changes to aggression in adult Lister Hooded rats. Frontiers in Psychiatry, 13, Article 885146. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyt.2022.885146

The endocannabinoid system has been implicated in both social and cognitive processing. The endocannabinoid metabolism inhibitor, URB597, dose-dependently improves non-social memory in adult Wistar and Sprague Dawley rats, whereas its effect on socia...
