Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors and Neurological/Psychiatric Disorders
Considering that neurological and psychiatric illnesses do not still have efficient therapies and are becoming increasingly widespread, the search for novel targets appears fundamental. Neuroinflammation, alterations in adult neurogenesis and excitotoxicity, all associated with glutamate transmission dysfunction, are key components of the pathogenetic mechanisms underlying neuropsychiatric illnesses. Counteracting the neurotoxic actions of glutamate through the modulatory actions of metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs), represents a rational intervention that offers tolerability compatible with clinical therapy. Their suitability as targets for developing novel therapies is also based o...
Neurobiology and Physiology of the Endocannabinoid System
Neurobiology and Physiology of the Endocannabinoid System offers readers a comprehensive reference on the neurobiology of this system and the use of cannabimimetic compounds to induce neurological changes and confer symptom relief. With sections on both natural and synthetic compounds, the book's broad coverage allows readers to learn about their use with multiple conditions, as well as the working biology of the endocannabinoid system, its receptors and its ligands. This volume provides a platform for research on the effects of this system and its modulation in brain function and neurological dysfunction. - Summarizes research on the working neurobiology of the endocannabinoid system - Contains chapter abstracts, key facts, a dictionary and a summary - Covers both natural cannabinoids and synthetic or exogenous cannabimimetics - Includes conditions like headache, anxiety, stress and neuroinflammation - Discusses system modulation in the context of pain, traumatic brain injury and obesity
CBD
Blair Lauren Brown, founder of Verté Essentials, offers a captivating introduction to CBD—what it is, how it can improve your health, and how to use it for personal wellness. Cannabidiol (CBD) is a non-intoxicating, non-psychoactive, anti-inflammatory compound of the cannabis plant with enormous therapeutic potential. It can relieve stress and anxiety, as well as a wide range of conditions including muscular discomfort and chronic pain. Blair Lauren Brown shares her knowledge of cannabidiol and provides recipes to try in daily practice. She covers the exciting science behind CBD, explores all the properties of the cannabis plant, and offers hints on how to use it most effectively. Beautifully illustrated throughout, this authoritative guide suggests ideas for self-care and daily pleasure that will enhance mind, body, and spirit.
Peripheral Neuropathy
Understanding the rapid changes in the evaluation and management of peripheral neuropathies, as well as the complexity of their mechanism, is a mandatory requirement for the practitioner to optimize patient's care. The objective of this book is to update health care professionals on recent advances in the pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of peripheral neuropathy. This work was written by a group of clinicians and scientists with large expertise in the field.
mGLU Receptors
Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) are members of the group C family of G-protein-coupled receptors. Eight different mGlu subtypes have been identified and classified into three groups based on amino acid sequence similarity, agonist pharmacology, and the signal transduction pathways to which they couple. They perform a variety of functions in the central and peripheral nervous systems, being involved in learning, memory, anxiety, and the perception of pain. They are found in pre- and postsynaptic neurons in synapses of the hippocampus, cerebellum, and cerebral cortex, as well as other parts of the bain and peripheral tissues. This volume will focus on the latest research in the role of Group I mGluRs in health and disease.
Vanilloid Receptor TRPV1 in Drug Discovery
Examines the emerging therapeutic role of TRPV1 TRPV1 is considered an integrator of noxious stimuli and therefore may be at a crossroads for pain transmission pathways. Because of its potential for managing multiple pain types, including osteoarthritis, chronic low back pain, neuropathic pain, and cancer pain, some consider it "the holy grail" of pain management. This dedicated reference summarizes available data related to the potential therapeutic utility for TRPV1 ligands. With contributions from many of the world's leading experts on TRP channels, Vanilloid Receptor TRPV1 in Drug Discovery covers the important TRPV1 target for drugs to treat painful conditions such as inflammation, arth...
