Description
Summary:Additionally, the relevance of the TRPV1 receptor as a new therapeutic target against LID is still not clearly understood and the experimental results, including the interaction with CB1, also remain controversial. [...]the existence of heterodimeric phenomena between CB1 and D2 receptors should also be taken into consideration during the interpretation of an experimental study in this field. CB2 receptors are mainly distributed in brain glial cells and neural precursor cells, and less in nerve cells. [...]the neuroprotective effect could be promoted by an inflammatory modulation mechanism with fewer central nervous side effects. [...]basal research is needed to clarify the effect of the other cannabinoid receptors, e.g., TRPV-1 and GPR55 on neural cells, and the concept of antioxidant properties of different cannabinoids, which could be receptor-independent. [...]the authors supported the thesis that eCB-mediated restoration of cortical striatal synaptic plasticity through retrograde messenger function contributes to the improvement in motor symptoms in PD (Wang et al., 2022).
