STUDY: Pertussis – The preimplantation mouse embryo is a target for cannabinoid ligand-receptor signaling.

Written By

ABSTRACT: Using a reverse transcription-coupled PCR, we demonstrated that both brain and spleen type cannabinoid receptor (CB1-R and CB2-R, respectively) mRNAs are expressed in the preimplantation mouse embryo. The CB1-R mRNA expression was coincident with the activation of the embryonic genome late in the two-cell stage, whereas the CB2-R mRNA was present from the one-cell ... Continue Reading

STUDY: Pertussis – Cannabinoid ligand-receptor signaling in the mouse uterus.

Written By

ABSTRACT: Using RNA (Northern) blot hybridization and reverse transcription-PCR, we demonstrate that the brain-type cannabinoid receptor (CB1-R) mRNA, but not the spleen-type cannabinoid receptor (CB2-R) mRNA, is expressed in the mouse uterus and that this organ has the capacity to synthesize the putative endogenous cannabinoid ligand, anandamide (arachidonylethanolamide). ... Continue Reading
