Synopsis
- Key concept=Stimulation of endocannabinoid transport with polyunsaturated (22:6n-3) fatty acids (DHA, EPA) to target major depressive disorders (MDD) , epilepsy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), multiple sclerosis (MS), posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), Parkinson's disease (PD), and Alzheimer's disease (AD).
- Identification of CREB phosphorylation in the hippocampus promoting brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression, a molecular marker for learning-dependent synapse formation. [1] [2]
- Intracellular CB1/BDNF signaling mediate on-demand neuroprotection on excitatory (glutamatergic) synapses and in particular astrocytes. [3]
- DHA supplementation improves mitochondrial function and neuronal survival (homeostasis). [4]
- Identification of a functional GPR40-GPR55 receptor heteromer with potent anti-inflammatory, antiglutamatergic and neuroprotective properties.
- Anti-proliferative effects of DHEA on prostate cancer cell lines. [5]
- A synaptogenic endocannabinoid promoting synaptogenesis.
- Antioxidant (cytoprotective) properties of GPR40-GPR55 heteromer.
- Effects of the endothelial CB2 receptor persistent activation on monocyte subpopulations/microglial activation. [6]
- Caffeine is a adenosine antagonist which potentiate CB1 receptor activation in the hippocampus PMID PMID
