Description

"Only a few years ago the endocannabinoid system was unknown, but today we are aware that endocannabinoids are involved in many functions of the mammalian body - neuroprotection, appetite and suckling, pain, reproduction, anxiety, memory and bone formation. This volume presents an up-to-date picture of some of the major fields of endocannabinoid research. It summarizes the actions of the endocannabinoids on various physiological systems and opens new therapeutic windows on to a large number of diseases." "The intended audience for this book is drug researchers (including medicinal chemists, pharmacologists and clinicians), neuroscientists, physiologists, and clinicians interested in the effect of the endocannabinoid system in various physiological systems."--BOOK JACKET.
