CB(1) cannabinoid receptors mediate profound hypothermia when cannabinoid agonists are administered to rats. Glutamate, the principal excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system (CNS), is thought to tonically increase body temperature by activating N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)
OBJECTIVE
To investigate whether hypothermia could be induced pharmacologically after resuscitation with the cannabinoid CB1/CB2 receptor agonist in a rat model and its effects on outcomes of cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
METHODS
Prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled experimental
An Osborn wave may be observed on an electrocardiogram (ECG) as a late delta wave at the end of the QRS complex in cases of hypothermia. An 18-year-old male known to be a synthetic cannabinoid user was found unconscious and hypothermic. The patient's body temperature was 33ºC, and an Osborn wave and
The present study investigated a potential role for cannabinoid CB(1) and CB(2) receptors in capsaicin-evoked hypothermia. Capsaicin (1 mg/kg, s.c.) caused rapid and significant hypothermia in rats. Pretreatment with SR 141716A (1, 2.5 and 5 mg/kg, i.p.), a CB(1) antagonist, or SR 144528 (1, 2.5 and
Cannabinoids evoke hypothermia by stimulating central CB(1) receptors. GABA induces hypothermia via GABA(A) or GABA(B) receptor activation. CB(1) receptor activation increases GABA release in the hypothalamus, a central locus for thermoregulation, suggesting that cannabinoid and GABA systems may be
The present study used the endpoint of hypothermia to investigate cannabinoid and nociceptin/orphanin FQ (N/OFQ) interactions in conscious animals. Prior work has established that cannabinoids produce hypothermia by activating central cannabinoid CB(1) receptors. The administration of N/OFQ into the
delta 8-Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)- and 8 beta, 9 beta-epoxyhexahydrocannabinol (EHHC)-tolerant mice were tolerant to the hypothermia produced by morphine while 8 alpha, 9 alpha-EHHC-tolerant mice were not. Morphine-tolerant mice acquired partial tolerance to the hypothermic effect of 8 alpha,9
AM 404 inhibits endocannabinoid uptake and enhances the cannabinoid CB(1)-mediated effects of endogenous cannabinoids. Accumulating evidence also suggests that AM 404 acts at sites other than the endocannabinoid system. One site is the transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 cation channel (TRPV1).
In recent years, there has been increasing interest in hypothermia induced by paracetamol for therapeutic purposes, which, in some instances, has been reported as a side effect. Understanding the mechanism by which paracetamol induces hypothermia is therefore an important question. In this study, we
OBJECTIVE
Cannabinoids confer neuroprotection in several experimental paradigms, but the responsible mechanisms remain unknown. Therefore, we sought to examine whether the synthetic CB1 agonist HU-210 is capable of reducing ischemic damage and to determine the mechanisms responsible for such
Improgan, a congener of the H(2) antagonist cimetidine, produces non-opioid antinociception which is blocked by the CB(1) antagonist rimonabant, implying a cannabinoid mechanism of action. Since cannabinoids produce hypothermia as well as antinociception in rodents, the present study investigated
OBJECTIVE
The nonselective Cannabinoid (CB) receptor agonist, WIN55, 212-2, was demonstrated to induce hypothermia and improve post-resuscitation outcomes in a rat post-cardiac arrest model. The present study was to explore the potential mechanisms of WIN55, 212-2 on thermoregulation following
BACKGROUND
Cannabinoid (CB) receptor agonists are expected to alleviate ischemic brain damage by modulating neurotransmission and neuroinflammatory responses via CB(1) and CB(2) receptors, respectively. In a previous study, TAK-937, a novel potent and selective CB(1) and CB(2) receptor agonist, was
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the mechanisms of improved myocardial and neurological function and survival following i.v. administration of cannabinoid receptor agonist, WIN55, 212-2 in a rat model of cardiac arrest.
METHODS
Prospective randomized controlled experimental
Acetaminophen (APAP) produces antinociception and hypothermia. Because the antinociceptive effect in rats is partially dependent on opioid and cannabinoid CB1 receptor activation, we determined if activation of these receptors also contributes to the hypothermic effect of APAP. Rats injected with
