Abstract:
The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is mainly composed of cannabinoid receptors (CBR), endogenous cannabinoids, and synthetically degraded enzymes. It exerts a variety of pathophysiological functions in nervous, immune and other systems. A large number of studies have shown that the ECS also plays a key role in gonadal function and reproductive regulation. At present, the function of ECS on reproduction has been paid more and more attention. Therefore, the research progress on the expression distribution and the role of ECS in female/male reproductive system is summarized in this paper.
