the iris sphincter to a miotic drug. Different lipid solubilities and degradation of the drug by the cholinesterases present in the iris are but two examples. It was possible by the method described to evaluate the overall miotic activities of series of ACh agonists and cholinesterase inhibitors in the mouse eye. By comparing the dose-response dependence of non-ester acetylcholine-agonists (e.g...
متن کاملTurning Down the Thermostat: Modulating the Endocannabinoid System in Ocular Inflammation and Pain
The endocannabinoid system (ECS) has emerged as an important regulator of both physiological and pathological processes. Notably, this endogenous system plays a key role in the modulation of pain and inflammation in a number of tissues. The components of the ECS, including endocannabinoids, their cognate enzymes and cannabinoid receptors, are localized in the eye, and evidence indicates that EC...
متن کاملThe endocannabinoid system and pain.
The therapeutic potential of cannabinoids has been the topic of extensive investigation following the discovery of cannabinoid receptors and their endogenous ligands.

Introduction One of the environmental factors that precipitates and exacerbates mental illnesses, including depression, anxiety disorders, and substance abuse, is repeated life stress. For example, homotypic stressors that occur on a daily basis, such as poverty or medical problems, are associated with increased depressive symptoms [1]. Not everyone exposed to stress has pathological consequenc...
متن کاملCannabinoids and the Endocannabinoid System
The human body possesses specific binding sites on the surface of many cell types for cannabinoids, and our body produces several endocannabinoids, fatty acid derivatives that bind to these cannabinoid receptors (CB) and activate them. CB receptors and endocannabinoids together constitute the endocannabinoid system. Some phytocannabinoids, cannabinoids of the cannabis plant, and a multitude of ...
