Cannabinoid receptor 1 signaling in cardiovascular regulating nuclei in the brainstem: A review
(2013-04)Cannabinoids elicit complex hemodynamic responses in experimental animals that involve both peripheral and central sites. Centrally administered cannabinoids have been shown to predominantly cause pressor response. However, ... -
CB1 Cannabinoid Receptor Activation Dose-Dependently Modulates Neuronal Activity within Caudal but not Rostral Song Control Regions of Adult Zebra Finch Telencephalon
(East Carolina University, 2008-08)CB1 cannabinoid receptors are distinctly expressed at high density within several regions of zebra finch telencephalon including those known to be involved in song learning (lMAN and Area X) and production (HVC and RA). ... -
Changes in zebra finch central nervous system morphology associated with developmental cannabinoid exposure
(East Carolina University, 2012)Adolescent CNS development is a highly organized, coordinated process that is both genetically and environmentally influenced, and is characterized by a period of dynamic, activity-dependent changes in synaptic connectivity. ... -
Developing Novel Chemotherapeutics: A Structure-Activity Study of Anandamide Analogs and their Cytotoxic Profiles
(East Carolina University, 2020-01-06)Many epithelial cancers have been shown to overexpress the enzyme cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), an enzyme responsible for both the metabolism of arachidonic acid (AA) to prostaglandins and arachidonoyl ethanolamine (AEA) to ...
