PRIMARY STUDY

Targeting endocannabinoid degradation protects against experimental colitis in mice: involvement of CB1 and CB2 receptors.

Key Findings:  Drugs targeting EC degradation offer therapeutic potential in the treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases. Furthermore, reduction of FAAH mRNA expression is involved in the pathophysiological response to colitis.
