Oral administration of the opioid antagonist nalmefene alone (up to 20 mg/kg) failed to show a significant effect on acute food intake in mice. However, combined oral dosing of nalmefene and subthreshold doses of AM...

Cannabinoids are powerful hypotensives and vasodilators. However, their mode of action is controversial. This study is the first to investigate the distribution of vascular CB1 receptor protein expression in situ. We used double-...

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and their ligands play a number of important roles in the modulation of acute and chronic pain. Indeed, opioid and cannabinoid ligands are of established therapeutic value for pain management, and further exploitation of the specific GPCR s...
