MAGL (monoacylglycerol lipase) is an enzyme that hydrolyzes the endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoylglycerol and regulates the production of arachidonic acid and prostaglandins-substances that mediate tissue inflammatory response. Here, we have studied the effects of the selective MAGL inhibitors JZL184
BACKGROUND
Investigators are searching to find new therapeutic strategies to reduce stroke secondary injury. JZL-184 (JZL) is an inhibitory factor for production of arachidonic acid (AA). Thus, it suppresses production of AA metabolites which are the cause of inflammation and tissue edema.
Administration of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) during first 3-4.5 h after ischemic stroke is the main therapeutic strategy; however, its using after that, leads to reperfusion injury and neurotoxic effects. Additionally, inflammation has a critical role in secondary injury after late
BACKGROUND
Stroke is a prevalent disorder which is associated with several complications including inflammation. JZL-184 (JZL) inhibits arachidonic acid (AA) production and consequently results in two-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) accumulation. Both reduced production of AA metabolic products and
Introduction: DGAT and MGAT enzymes play an important role in triacylglycerol (TGA) biosynthesis. Overexpression of these enzymes may lead to accumulation of TGA in adipose tissues causing development of diseases such as obesity and
OBJECTIVE
The activation of cannabinoid receptor type 2 (CB(2))-mediated pathways might represent a promising anti-atherosclerotic treatment. Here, we investigated the expression of the endocannabinoid system in human carotid plaques and the impact of CB(2) pharmacological activation on markers of
We report on two families with Sengers syndrome and mutations in the acylglycerol kinase gene (AGK). In the first family, two brothers presented with vascular strokes, lactic acidosis, cardiomyopathy and cataracts, abnormal muscle cell histopathology and mitochondrial function. One proband had very
