Journal ArticleDOI

Selective blockade of 2-arachidonoylglycerol hydrolysis produces cannabinoid behavioral effects

TL;DR: 2-AG endogenously modulates several behavioral processes classically associated with the pharmacology of cannabinoids and point to overlapping and unique functions for 2-AG and anandamide in vivo, indicating a functional segregation of endocannabinoid signaling pathways in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dual blockade of FAAH and MAGL identifies behavioral processes regulated by endocannabinoid crosstalk in vivo

TL;DR: A selective and efficacious dual FAAH/MAGL inhibitor is described and it is shown that this agent exhibits broad activity in the tetrad test for CB1 agonism, causing analgesia, hypomotilty, and catalepsy, indicating that AEA and 2-AG signaling pathways interact to regulate specific behavioral processes in vivo, including those relevant to drug abuse.
Journal ArticleDOI

CB1 cannabinoid receptor-mediated modulation of food intake in mice

TL;DR: The results strongly suggest that CB1 receptors may play a role in regulation of feeding behavior and that SR141716A may affect the actions of endogenous cannabinoids in regulating appetite.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regional enhancement of cannabinoid CB1 receptor desensitization in female adolescent rats following repeated Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol exposure

TL;DR: Whether adolescent and adult rats exhibit differential adaptation of brain cannabinoid (CB1) receptors after repeated exposure to Δ9‐tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is determined.
