Effects of pro-inflammatory cytokines on cannabinoid CB1 and CB2 receptors in immune cells (2015)
Journal Article

© 2015 The Authors. Aims: To investigate the regulation of cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2 on immune cells by pro-inflammatory cytokines and its potential relevance to the inflammatory neurological disease, multiple sclerosis (MS). CB1 and CB2 sign... Read More about Effects of pro-inflammatory cytokines on cannabinoid CB1 and CB2 receptors in immune cells.

The effects of obesity, diabetes and metabolic syndrome on the hydrolytic enzymes of the endocannabinoid system in animal and human adipocytes (2014)
Journal Article

Background: Circulating endocannabinoid levels are increased in obesity and diabetes. We have shown that fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH, an endocannabinoid hydrolysing enzyme) in subcutaneous adipose tissue positively correlates with BMI in healthy...
