Journal ArticleDOI

An anorexic lipid mediator regulated by feeding

TL;DR: It is shown that, in rats, food deprivation markedly reduces OEA biosynthesis in the small intestine, and results indicate that OEA is a lipid mediator involved in the peripheral regulation of feeding.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Peripheral Mechanism for CB1 Cannabinoid Receptor-Dependent Modulation of Feeding

TL;DR: An unexpected role for peripheral CB1 receptors in the regulation of feeding is revealed and Capsaicin deafferentation abolished the peripheral effects of both cannabinoid agonists and antagonists, suggesting that these agents modulate food intake by acting onCB1 receptors located on capsaicin-sensitive sensory terminals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Elevated circulating levels of anandamide after administration of the transport inhibitor, AM404

TL;DR: Results are consistent with the hypothesis that AM404 inhibits anandamide inactivation in vivo, and potentiates several responses elicited by administration of exogenousAnandamide.
Journal ArticleDOI

D2 dopamine receptors enable Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol induced memory impairment and reduction of hippocampal extracellular acetylcholine concentration.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that impairment of working memory and inhibition of hippocampal extracellular acetylcholine concentration are mediated by the concomitant activation of D2 dopamine and CB1 cannabinoid receptors, and that D 2 dopamine receptor antagonists may be useful in the treatment of the cognitive deficits induced by marijuana.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of chronic Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol treatment on hippocampal extracellular acetylcholine concentration and alternation performance in the T-maze

TL;DR: Findings confirm the proposition that CB(1) cannabinoid receptors mediate the negative effects induced by Delta(9)-THC both on hippocampal extracellular acetylcholine concentration and correct alternation tasks in the T-maze, and indicate that these effects may be differentiated.
