The cannabinoid receptor antagonist SR141716A has been suggested to be an inverse agonist at CB1 receptors in some isolated intact tissues. We found that the basal incorporation of [35S]-GTPgammaS in Chinese hamster ovary cells expressing human recombinant CB1 and CB2

Cannabinol (CBN), an immunosuppressive cannabinoid and ligand for the peripheral cannabinoid receptor CB2, inhibits the cAMP signaling cascade in forskolin-stimulated thymocytes. The objective of the present studies was to further characterize the mechanism of CBN immune modulation by investigating its
Immune suppression by cannabinoids has been widely demonstrated in a variety of experimental models. The identification of two major types of G-protein-coupled cannabinoid receptors expressed on leukocytes, CB1 and CB2, has provided a putative mechanism of action for immune modulation

We have studied the effect of WIN 55,212-2 (a psychoactive cannabinoid agonist), cannabinol (a nonpsychoactive cannabinoid agonist), SR141716A, a cannabinoid CB1 antagonist, and SR144528, a cannabinoid CB2 antagonist, on gastric emptying in the rat. WIN 55,212-2 (0.1-5 mg/kg, i.p.) and
Increased food consumption following ∆(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol-induced cannabinoid type 1 receptor agonism is well documented. However, possible non-∆(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol phytocannabinoid-induced feeding effects have yet to be fully investigated. Therefore, we have assessed the effects of the individual phytocannabinoids, cannabigerol, cannabidiol and cannabinol, upon
