CB2 receptor‐mediated antihyperalgesia: possible direct involvement of neural mechanisms

TL;DR: It is suggested that CB2 agonists may elicit their analgesic effect by acting not only at non‐neuronal peripheral sites but also at neural level, making CB2 an attractive target for chronic pain treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adenosine A2A receptor antagonists are potential antidepressants: evidence based on pharmacology and A2A receptor knockout mice.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that blockade of the adenosine A2A receptor might be an interesting target for the development of effective antidepressant agents is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Decrease of brain acetylcholine release in aging freely-moving rats detected by microdialysis.

TL;DR: The intracerebroventricular injection of hemicholinium-3 caused a marked decrease in acetylcholine release from the striata of 2- and 18-month-old rats, but there was no age-related difference between the young and old rats, indicating that the differences observed were due to the lower basal release found in the old rats.
Journal ArticleDOI

A catalytically silent FAAH-1 variant drives anandamide transport in neurons

TL;DR: A partly cytosolic variant of the intracellular anandamide-degrading enzyme fatty acid amide hydrolase-1 (FAAH-1), termed FAAH-like an andamide transporter (FLAT), that lacked amidase activity but bound anandamon with low micromolar affinity and facilitated its translocation into cells is described.
