We evaluated cutaneous contact hypersensitivity (CHS) in Cnr1-/-/Cnr2-/- animals using the obligate contact allergen 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene (DNFB), which generates a specific cutaneous T-cell mediated allergic response upon repeated allergen contact. Allergic contact dermatitis affects about 5% of...

Inhibition of cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1) has shown efficacy in reducing body weight and improving metabolic parameters, with the effects correlating with target engagement in the brain. Recently, the peripheral effects of inhibiting the CB1 receptor has been appreciated through studies in diet-ind...

We tested the effects of isopropoyl dodecyl fluorophosphonate (IDFP) (10 mg/kg, i.p.), a pharmacological inhibitor of endocannabinoid degradation, on hepatic gene expression in mice. To determine if increased cannabinoid receptor 1 signaling is responsible for IDFP induced effects a subset of mice w...

The United States is currently facing a severe opioid epidemic, therefore addressing how opioids induce rewarding behaviors could be key to a solution for this medical and societal crisis. Recently, the endogenous cannabinoid system has emerged as a hot topic in the study of opioid reward but relati...

The endocannabinoid system (ECS) provides regulatory functions in several cellular and physiological processes. It has also been found to play a role in control of cancer development. Our group found that breast cancer cells responded to cannabinoid receptor (CB) agonist treatments. This leads the a...
