Cannabinoid Report: NADA

N-Arachidonoyl dopamine (NADA) is an endogenous cannabinoid that acts as a potent agonist to the body’s CB1 and TRPV1 receptors. NADA was one of the later discovered endocannabinoids, along with 2-AGE and virhodamine. NADA was first proposed as an endocannabinoid in 2000 by T. Bisogno, D. Melck, Bobrov MYu, N. M. Gretskaya, V.

Ep. 481: Prof. Cristina Sanchez

Dr. Cristina Sanchez, a molecular biologist at Compultense University in Madrid, Spain, is working to uncover whether or not cannabinoids are useful tools for fighting cancer — not just by combating the negative side effects of chemotherapy, but also by exhibiting actual anti-tumor activity. She notes that, in her and her team’s pre-clinical studies with […]

Cannabinoid Report: 2-AGE

2-Arachidonyl glyceryl ether, often referred to as noladin ether or 2-AGE, is a stable analog of the endogenous cannabinoid 2-AG. It was discovered in 2000 by Lumír Hanuš and his colleagues (Saleh Abu-Lafi, Ester Fride, Aviva Breuer, Zvi Vogel, Deborah E. Shalev, Irina Kustanovich, and Raphael Mechoulam) at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, in Israel. […]

Cannabinoid Report: 2-AG

2-Arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) is an endogenous cannabinoid – one of many naturally occurring cannabinoids produced by the mammalian body (2-AG has even been found in cow’s milk and human breast milk.) 2-AG was the second endocannabinoid to be discovered, after anandamide; similarly, it is probably the second most studied endocannabinoid following anandamide. Although researchers from Teikyo […]
