The endogenous cannabinoid system and its role in nociceptive behavior.
The analgesic properties of exogenous cannabinoids have been recognized for many years and suggest a regulatory role for the endogenous cannabinoid ("endocannabinoid") system in mammalian nociceptive pathways. The endocannabinoid system includes: (1) at least two families of lipid signaling molecules, the N-acyl ethanolamines (e.g., anandamide) and the monoacylglycerols (e.g., 2-arachidonoyl gl...
متن کاملCannabinoid CB2 receptors in the gastrointestinal tract: a regulatory system in states of inflammation.
The emerging potential for the cannabinoid (CB) system in modulating gastrointestinal inflammation has gained momentum over the last few years. Traditional and anecdotal use of marijuana for gastrointestinal disorders, such as diarrhoea and abdominal cramps is recognized, but the therapeutic benefit of cannabinoids in the 21st century is overshadowed by the psychoactive problems associated with...
متن کاملIdentification of Helicobacter spp. in gastrointestinal tract, pancreas and hepatobiliary system of stray cats
The aim of the present study was to determine the presence of Helicobacter species in different parts of gastrointestinal tract, hepatobiliary system and pancreas of stray cats. Six different sites at the level of genus, gastric (H. heilmannii and H. felis) and enterohepatic species of Helicobacter were investigated in six cats using species-specific primers by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). ...
متن کاملA major role for carbon monoxide as an endogenous hyperpolarizing factor in the gastrointestinal tract.
Carbon monoxide (CO) is proposed as a physiological messenger. CO activates cGMP and has a direct effect on potassium channels. Both actions of CO lead to hyperpolarization of a cell's resting membrane potential, suggesting that CO may function as a hyperpolarizing factor, although direct evidence is still lacking. Here we take advantage of the known membrane potential gradient that exists in t...
متن کاملRole of Tachykinins in the Gastrointestinal Tract
The preprotachykinin-A gene-derived peptides substance (SP) and neurokinin A (NKA) are expressed in distinct neural pathways of the mammalian gut. When released from intrinsic enteric or extrinsic primary afferent neurons, they have the potential to influence most digestive effector systems by interaction with tachykinin NK1, NK2 and NK3 receptors. Within the enteric nervous system, SP and NKA ...
