Dynamic regulation of the endocannabinoid system: implications for analgesia
The analgesic effects of cannabinoids are well documented, but these are often limited by psychoactive side-effects. Recent studies indicate that the endocannabinoid system is dynamic and altered under different pathological conditions, including pain states. Changes in this receptor system include altered expression of receptors, differential synthetic pathways for endocannabinoids are express...
متن کاملPretreatment with electroacupuncture induces rapid tolerance to focal cerebral ischemia through regulation of endocannabinoid system.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Our previous study demonstrated that pretreatment with electroacupuncture (EA) induces rapid tolerance to focal cerebral ischemia. The present study was aimed to investigate the involvement of the endocannabinoid system in the early neuroprotection conferred by EA pretreatment in the animal model of focal cerebral ischemia. METHODS Two hours after the end of EA pretreat...
متن کاملIntroduction to the Endocannabinoid System
The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is an essential regulator of bodily function in its many facets. There is hardly any physiological process that is not affected by it to some degree. It is surprising then to realize that the ECS was totally unknown prior to one generation ago. The name derives from the fact that the bodies of all higher animals harbor natural chemicals within that resemble in m...
متن کاملEmotional valence contributes to music-induced analgesia.
The capacity of music to soothe pain has been used in many traditional forms of medicine. Yet, the mechanisms underlying these effects have not been demonstrated. Here, we examine the possibility that the modulatory effect of music on pain is mediated by the valence (pleasant-unpleasant dimension) of the emotions induced. We report the effects of listening to pleasant and unpleasant music on th...
متن کاملChlorpromazine attenuated electroacupuncture analgesia in conscious rabbits.
By measuring the defense behavior in response to the noxious stimulation induced by potassium iontophoresis on ear-lobe skin of conscious rabbit, chlorpromazine (CPZ) (0.5 mg.kg-1, i.v.) induced hyperalgesia, whereas it significantly attenuated electroacupuncture analgesia (EAA) efficacy. Monoamines and their metabolites in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were measured by high pressure liquid chromat...
