THEMED ISSUE: CANNABINOIDS REVIEW Phytocannabinoids beyond the Cannabis plant – do they exist?bph_745 523..529
It is intriguing that during human cultural evolution man has detected plant natural products that appear to target key protein receptors of important physiological systems rather selectively. Plants containing such secondary metabolites usually belong to unique chemotaxa, induce potent pharmacological effects and have typically been used for recreational and medicinal purposes or as poisons. C...

متن کاملThe influence of cannabinoids on generic traits of neurodegeneration.
UNLABELLED In an increasingly ageing population, the incidence of neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and Huntington's disease are rising. While the aetiologies of these disorders are different, a number of common mechanisms that underlie their neurodegenerative components have been elucidated; namely neuroinflammation, excitotoxicity, mitochondrial dysf...
متن کاملThe endocannabinoid signalling system: biochemical aspects.
Knowledge of the endogenous cannabinoid system has expanded greatly during the past years. After the discovery of the cannabinoid receptors, of their endogenous agonists and of the proteins for their synthesis and inactivation, significant progress has been made towards the understanding of the role of the endocannabinoid system in vital functions. Subsequently, an increasing number of papers h...
