Oromucosal as an Alternative Method for Administration of Cannabis Products in Rodents03:43

Oromucosal as an Alternative Method for Administration of Cannabis Products in Rodents

344
Oral administration via gavage in rodents can induce distress associated with restraint. We explored oromucosal/buccal administration of CBD-enriched Cannabis extract, where rats were treated for 15 days with the extract at 3 mg/kg/day. Treatments were administered orally with a micropipette, using an affectionate touch technique to handle the...

Synthesis of a Deuterated Standard for the Quantification of 2-Arachidonoylglycerol in Caenorhabditis elegans

7.7K
This work describes a robust and straightforward method to detect and quantify the endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) in C. elegans. An analytical deuterated standard us prepared and used for the quantification of 2-AG by isotopic dilution and liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry...

Here we describe a technique to cannulate the mesenteric lymph duct in rats which enables quantification of lipid and drug transport via the lymphatic system following intestinal delivery. The technique can be adapted to assess mesenteric lymph concentrations and/or transport of fluid, immune cells, peptides, proteins and lipophilic...

Disruption of bile flow results in severe inflammatory cholestatic liver injury with a characteristic time-dependent sequence of morphological alterations. Here we present a protocol for the surgical ligation of the common bile duct in mice that allows to induce a strong fibrotic response after 21 to 28...

Summary

Understanding cardiac receptors is key to preventing arrhythmias. The adrenergic, muscarinic, and adenosine systems significantly impact heart cell electrical activity and arrhythmia development.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Electrophysiology
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Cardiac arrhythmias are influenced by three major receptor systems: adrenergic, muscarinic, and adenosine.
  • Recent evidence clarifies the arrhythmogenic mechanisms of beta-adrenergic stimulation and highlights the role of alpha-adrenergic stimulation, particularly during hypoxia-ischemia.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To elucidate the roles of adrenergic, muscarinic, and adenosine receptor systems in cardiac electrophysiology and arrhythmia development.
  • To explore the potential of pharmacological modulation of these receptors for treating cardiac arrhythmias.

Main Methods:

  • Review of accumulated evidence on cardiac receptor physiology and pathophysiology.
  • Analysis of experimental studies investigating receptor system interactions and their effects on myocardial cells.

Main Results:

  • Beta-adrenergic stimulation is arrhythmogenic; alpha-adrenergic stimulation contributes, especially during hypoxia-ischemia.
  • Cholinergic stimulation may prevent arrhythmias by antagonizing sympathetic activation during myocardial ischemia.
  • Adenosine receptor activation inhibits adenylyl cyclase, reducing adrenergic-dependent triggered activity.

Conclusions:

  • Pharmacological modulation of cardiac adrenergic, muscarinic, and adenosine receptors offers a rational approach for refining anti-arrhythmic therapies.
  • Further research is needed to fully understand the subcellular interactions of these three systems.
