Abstract:
Endocannabinoids are endogenous brain ligands of cannabinoid receptors and have specific synthesizing,transporting,metabolizing ways in the body. Endocannabinoids can regulate release of some neurotransmitters such as glutamate or GABA. So elucidating the mechanism of endocannabinoids is not only helpful in understanding the mechanisms of cannabiod addicton but also useful in developing new useful drugs.
