16770320 See also Endocannabinoidsystem Reuptake inhibitor Cannabinoid receptor antagonist Category ...Endocannabinoid reuptake inhibitors eCBRI , similar to cannabinoid reuptake inhibitors CBRI , are substances which limit or completely stop the reabsorption of endocannabinoid neurotransmitters into their corresponding pre synaptic neuron es. Etymology There are several parts to the phrase endocannabinoid reuptake inhibitor. First, a reuptake inhibitor is a substance that prevents its respective neurotransmitters from being reabsorbed into the pre sypnatic neurones, which makes them continually recycle themselves, thus creating a large increase in neurotransmission. Next, a cannabinoid is simply a class of closely related substances such as Tetrahydrocannabinol and Cannabidiol . Endo is a prefix used to describe a cannabinoid that is naturally found within an animal. In retrospect, an endocannabinoid reuptake inhibitor is a substance that when ingested by an animal prevents reuptake of its endogenous cannabinoids. Pharmacology The inhibition of endocannabinoid reuptake raises the amount of those neurotransmitters available in the synaptic cleft and therefore increases neurotransmission . Following the increase of neurotransmission in the endocannabinoidsystem is the stimulation of its functions which, in humans, include suppression of pain perception analgesia , increased appetite , Mood psychology mood elevation and inhibition of short term memory . Use in medicine Other than toxicity research and recreational use, eCBRIs could have some potential in fighting tumors and possibly cancer . A study done in 2004 on rats with thyroid tumors showed that reuptake inhibition of the endocannabinoidsystem using VDM 11 and AA 5 HT reduced the ultimate size of the tumors in the treated rats. These findings suggest that the use of cannabinoids and or eCBR inhibitors could be used to effectively treat tumors and or cancer, which only adds to the controversy around cannabinoids and the cannabis ... more details
