Endocannabinoid Catabolic Enzymes Play Differential Roles in Thermal Homeostasis in Response to Environmental or Immune Challenge

Cannabinoid receptor agonists, such as Δ9-THC, the primary active constituent of Cannabis sativa, have anti-pyrogenic effects in a variety of assays. Recently, attention has turned to the endogenous cannabinoid system and how endocannabinoids, including 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) and anandamide, regulate multiple homeostatic processes, including thermoregulation.

Cannabidiol, a constituent of Cannabis sativa, modulates sleep in rats

Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) are two major constituents of Cannabis sativa. Δ9-THC modulates sleep, but no clear evidence on the role of CBD is available. In order to determine the effects of CBD on sleep, it was administered intracerebroventricular (icv) in a dose of 10 μg/5 μl at the beginning of either the lights-on or the lights-off period.
