Endocannabinoids, sperm functions and energy metabolism.
Cannabinoids, the main active components of marijuana, have been shown to exert different adverse effects on male reproduction both in vertebrates and invertebrates. The main effects of endocannabinoids, a particular group of endogenously produced cannabinoids, in sperm are the inhibition of motility, capacitation and acrosome reaction, all fundamental processes necessary for oocyte penetration...
متن کاملEndocannabinoids and Human Sperm Cells
N-acylethanolamides (NAEs) are naturally occurring signaling lipids consisting of amides and esters of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. Usually they are present in a very small amounts in many mammalian tissues and cells, including human reproductive tracts and fluids. Recently, the presence of N-arachidonoylethanolamide (anandamide, AEA), the most characterised member of endocannabinoid...
متن کاملEndocannabinoids and the regulation of bone metabolism.
In mammals, including humans, bone metabolism is manifested as an ongoing modelling/remodelling process whereby the bone mineralised matrix is being continuously renewed. Recently, the main components of the endocannabinoid system have been reported in the skeleton. Osteoblasts, the bone forming cells, and other cells of the osteoblastic lineage, as well as osteoclasts, the bone resorbing cells...
متن کاملEndocannabinoids and energy homeostasis: an update.
The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a widespread intercellular signaling system that plays a critical role in energy homeostasis, meant as the precise matching of caloric intake with energy expenditure which normally keeps body weight stable over time. Complex interactions between environmental and neurohormonal systems directly contribute to the balance of energy homeostasis. This review highl...
متن کاملEndocannabinoids as Markers of Sperm Quality: Hot Spots
Male reproductive health is under threat from a range of environmental and lifestyle assaults, including endocrine disrupters, toxic pollutants, and ionizing radiations, as well as lifestyle factors such as sexually transmitted infections, alcoholism, smoking, and anabolic steroid use. The latest potential hazard in our modern lifestyle is the use of plant-derived cannabinoids present in hashis...
