New knowledge on the role of this system in humans has been acquired by measuring blood endocannabinoids. Here we explored endocannabinoids and related N-acylethanolami...
متن کاملEndocannabinoids as Guardians of Metastasis
Endocannabinoids including anandamide and 2-arachidonoylglycerol are involved in cancer pathophysiology in several ways, including tumor growth and progression, peritumoral inflammation, nausea and cancer pain. Recently we showed that the endocannabinoid profiles are deranged during cancer to an extent that this manifests in alterations of plasma endocannabinoids in cancer patients, which was m...
متن کاملEndocannabinoids and Human Sperm Cells

Usually they are present in a very small amounts in many mammalian tissues and cells, including human reproductive tracts and fluids.
