EndocannabinoidsThere is currently considerable interest in the development of medicines that would enhance endocannabinoid-induced ?autoprotection?, for example through inhibition of endocannabinoid metabolizing enzymes or cellular uptake processes or that would oppose endocannabinoid-induced ?autoimpairment?. This volume describes the physiology, pathophysiology and pharmacology of the endocannabinoid system and potential strategies for targeting this system in the clinic. ISBN:9783319208244, 3319208241
