What is the difference between k2 and marijuana?
K2 or "spice" is a synthetic cannabinoid (a JWH, or J.W.Huffman synthesized drug) which binds the cannabinoid receptor up to ten times more powerfully than marijuana (cannabis). It is not "safer" than marijuana. In fact, it can be more dangerous, given the lack of information, to date, on user's health. Many users report intense headaches, for instance.
How many cannabinoid receptors in the human body?
The endocannabinoid system is a ubiquitous lipid signaling system that appeared early in evolution and has important regulatory functions throughout the body in all vertebrates. It consists of a family of G-protein-coupled receptors, the cannabinoid receptors (CB1 found in the brain and many peripheral tissues, and CB2, primarily found in immune cells); endoligands to activate these receptors; and two enzymes, the fatty acid amide hydrolase and the monoacylglycerol lipase, to metabolize the endoligands. The endoligands of the cannabinoid receptor system, small molecules derived from arachidonic acid, are called endocannabinoids. The main endocannabinoids, anandamide (arachidonoylethanolamide) and 2-arachidonoylglycerol, bind primarily to CB1 and CB2 receptors, but also to the vanilloid receptor producing a wide diversity of effects since they function as agonists, antagonists and partial antagonists. (Cannabinoids function as antagonists to the vanilloid receptor, a.k.a. the capsaicin receptor, since it can be activated by capsaicin and is involved in the transmission and modulation of pain.) reference: greenbloomdotorg
What is a cannabinoid?
A cannabinoid is a substance which is structurally related to a specific psychoactive compound president in cannabis - known as tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC.
How pronounce cannabinoid?
Can-a-BIN-oyd.
Do we have cannabinoid receptors in our bodies?
Yes, our bodies have cannabinoid receptors that are part of the endocannabinoid system, which plays a role in regulating various physiological processes.
What is the chemical JWH-013 in Bizarro?
it is a synthetic cannabinoid.
Which receives signals a fluid mosaic model or a receptor?
a receptor
Does dragon's fire herb contain THC?
The synthetic substance, JWH-018, a cannabinoid receptor agonist from the aminoalkylindole family, has been found in herbal mixtures sold legally under various 'spice' names, such as Spice Gold and Spice Yucatan Fire. The mixture is sold as incense, but is smoked to get high.
What drugs impact the brain's cannabinoid receptors?
Cannabinoid receptors in the brain can be impacted by drugs like THC (found in cannabis/marijuana) and synthetic cannabinoids (e.g., Spice/K2). These compounds can mimic the effects of natural cannabinoids in the brain, leading to alterations in mood, memory, and perception.
What are important tissue receptor tumor markers?
Important tissue receptor tumor markers include estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) in breast cancer; epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) in lung cancer; and the androgen receptor (AR) in prostate cancer. These markers help guide treatment decisions and predict response to targeted therapies.
Does the brain have receptors for THC?
Yes, they're called cannabinoid receptors.
Is CD4 an adhesion molecule?
The glycoprotein CD4 is a co-receptor. A co-receptor is "a cell surface receptor, which, when bound to its respective ligand, modulates antigen receptor binding or affects cellular activation after antigen-receptor interactions." (MediLexicon)
