An endocannabinoid mechanism for stress-induced analgesia

TL;DR: The results indicate that the coordinated release of 2-AG and anandamide in the periaqueductal grey matter might mediate opioid-independent stress-induced analgesia, and identify monoacylglycerol lipase as a previously unrecognized therapeutic target.

Antidepressant-Like Activity and Modulation of Brain Monoaminergic Transmission by Blockade of Anandamide Hydrolysis

TL;DR: Gobi et al. as discussed by the authors showed that URB597, a selective inhibitor of the enzyme fatty acid amide hydrolase, which catalyzes the intracellular hydrolysis of the endocannabinoid anandamide, exerts potent antidepressant-like effects in the mouse tail-suspension test and the rat forced-swim test.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antidepressant-like activity of the fatty acid amide hydrolase inhibitor URB597 in a rat model of chronic mild stress.

TL;DR: URB597 exerts antidepressant-like effects in a highly specific and predictive animal model of depression and these effects may depend on the ability of URB597 to enhance anandamide signaling in select regions of the brain.
