- Endocannabinoid system - Wikipedia
The neurons, neural pathways, and other cells where these molecules, enzymes, and one or both cannabinoid receptor types are all localized together collectively comprise the endocannabinoid system The endocannabinoid system has been studied using genetic and pharmacological methods
- Endocannabinoid System: A Simple Guide to How It Works
The endocannabinoid is a complex system that still isn't fully understood We'll go over what experts do know about it, including how it works, the ways it interacts with cannabis, and theories
- An introduction to the endogenous cannabinoid system - PMC
The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a widespread neuromodulatory system that plays important roles in central nervous system (CNS) development, synaptic plasticity, and the response to endogenous and environmental insults
- A Beginner’s Guide to Cannabinoids and the Endocannabinoid System
The endocannabinoid system is a communication network made up of receptors, signaling molecules, and enzymes It acts like a “stability supervisor,” helping the body keep important processes within a healthy range
- What Is the Function of Endocannabinoids? - MedicineNet
“Endocannabinoid” derives its name from phytocannabinoids -- “phyto” meaning “plant-based” -- a class of psychoactive substances first discovered in Cannabis sativa (marijuana) plants Endocannabinoids are cannabis-like compounds naturally produced by the body in the nerve cells
- The Role of Endocannabinoids in Physiological Processes and Disease . . .
This article provides a comprehensive overview of the physiological and pathological roles of endocannabinoids, discusses their potential as therapeutic targets, and highlights recent advances in endocannabinoid-based treatments
- Human Endocannabinoid System – UCLA Center for Cannabis and Cannabinoids
In the 1990’s, scientists discovered endocannabinoids, the natural cannabis-like molecules produced by the human body Scientists began to realize cannabis exerted its effects, in part, by mimicking our endocannabinoids
- What Are Endogenous Cannabinoids and How Do They Work?
Endogenous cannabinoids are naturally produced signaling molecules within the human body These compounds resemble those found in the cannabis plant but are generated internally as part of a complex communication network that helps maintain the body’s stability
