BACKGROUND Bariatric surgery is the most effective long-term treatment for morbid obesity, reducing obesity-associated co-morbidities. We decide to investigate the role of the polymorphism (G1359A) of the cannabinoid (CB)1 receptor gene on clinical outcomes 1 year after biliopancreatic diversion in

The human astrocytoma cell line CCF-STTGI accumulates [3H]2-AG through an Na(+)- and energy-independent process, with a Km of 0.7 +/- 0.1 microM. Non-radioactive 2-AG, anandamide or the anandamide transport inhibitor 4-hydroxyphenyl arachidonamide inhibit [3H]2-AG uptake with half-maximal inhibitory

OBJECTIVE Adhesion molecules have been implicated in the development and progression of atherosclerosis. Cannabinoids have been reported to modulate the migration and adhesion molecules expression of various cell types. Here we examined the effects of WIN55212-2, a cannabinoid receptor 1
