Anandamide (arachidonoylethanolamide or AEA) is an endocannabinoid that acts at vanilloid (VR1) as well as at cannabinoid (CB1/CB2) and NMDA receptors. Here, we show that AEA, in a dose-dependent ...

Anandamide has also been implicated in blood pressure regulation. In this study, we aimed to determine circulating anandamide levels in preeclampsia for the first time in the literature.

Evidence exists that cannabinoid receptor type 1 can inhibit voltage-gated calcium channel, decrease intracellular Ca2+ influx, and reduce neurotransmitter release.

Anandamide is a natural cannabinoid produced in the human body. The compound gets its name from the Sanskrit word ananda, which when translated to English simply means bliss.

Anandamide Could Introduce You To Bliss - How would you describe that blissful feeling? The word ‘bliss’ is today used pretty loosely to convey what we think to be the ultimate experience – ...

The best known ECS transmitter is anandamide, though several others exist with more technical names such as 2-AG. Neuroreceptors for ECS transmitters are the most common receptor in the brain and ...

If anandamide levels are too low, Dr. Neumeister explains, the brain compensates by increasing the number of CB1 receptors. "This helps the brain utilize the remaining endocannabinoids," he says.

Described by BBC Earth as a “bliss molecule,” anandamide, the black truffle equivalent, causes the brain to release mood-enhancing chemicals. This effect isn’t just confined to humans, either.

Anandamide, as it turns out, binds to another receptor in your digestive tract, stimulating the production and function of a certain type of white blood cell called a macrophage that lowers immune ...
