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)
This investigation focused primarily on the interaction of two benzophenanthridine alkaloids (chelerythrine and sanguinarine), piperonyl butoxide and (S)-methoprene with G-protein-coupled cannabinoid CB(1) receptors of mouse brain in vitro. Chelerythrine and sanguinarine inhibited the binding of the
The endocannabinoid system regulates food intake, energy, and glucose metabolism at both central and peripheral levels. We have investigated the mechanism by which it may control glucose uptake in skeletal muscle cells. Detectable levels of the cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1) were revealed in L6
A series of quinolinyl and isoquinolinyl phenyl ketones was synthesized and their CB(2) receptor-dependent G-protein activities were determined using the [(35)S]GTPgammaS binding assay. Both quinoline and isoquinoline derivatives exhibited similar CB(2) receptor agonist activity, the most potent
