DOI: 10.1002/syn.22139
Abstract: CB2 receptors (CB2R) are expressed in midbrain neurons. To evidence the control of dopamine release in dorsal striatum by CB2R, we performed experiments of [3H]‐dopamine release in dorsal striatal slices. We found a paradoxical increase… read more here.

Abstract: Diabetes mellitus promotes accelerated cardiovascular aging and inflammation, which in turn facilitate the development of cardiomyopathy/heart failure. High glucose-induced oxidative/nitrative stress, activation of various pro-inflammatory, and cell death pathways are critical in the initiation and… read more here.
