Astrocytes in endocannabinoid signalling.
Astrocytes are emerging as integral functional components of synapses, responding to synaptically released neurotransmitters and regulating synaptic transmission and plasticity. Thus, they functionally interact with neurons establishing tripartite synapses: a functional concept that refers to the existence of communication between astrocytes and neurons and its crucial role in synaptic function...
متن کاملEndocannabinoid signalling in Alzheimer's disease.
The ECs (endocannabinoids) AEA (anandamide) and 2-AG (2-arachidonoylglycerol) and their lipid congeners OEA (N-oleoylethanolamide) and PEA (N-palmitoylethanolamide) are multifunctional lipophilic signalling molecules. The ECs, OEA and PEA have multiple physiological roles including involvement in learning and memory, neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, neuroprotection and neurogenesis. They ha...
متن کاملVolume transmission signalling via astrocytes
The influence of astrocytes on synaptic function has been increasingly studied, owing to the discovery of both gliotransmission and morphological ensheathment of synapses. While astrocytes exhibit at best modest membrane potential fluctuations, activation of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) leads to a prominent elevation of intracellular calcium which has been reported to correlate with glio...
متن کاملThe endocannabinoid signalling system: biochemical aspects.
Knowledge of the endogenous cannabinoid system has expanded greatly during the past years. After the discovery of the cannabinoid receptors, of their endogenous agonists and of the proteins for their synthesis and inactivation, significant progress has been made towards the understanding of the role of the endocannabinoid system in vital functions. Subsequently, an increasing number of papers h...
