Anandamide in Health and Disease, a volume in the Molecular Mediators in Health and Disease: How Cells Communicate series, is a complete reference on the roles of anandamide in health and disease states. Following the characteristics of the series, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the effects of the mediator on human health.The book is divided into two parts, the first of which provides background information on biology, regulation, synthesis and degradation and modulation of anandamide. The second part is dedicated to covering the role of anandamide in various diseases. A comprehensive panel of authors cover several somatic and psychiatric disorders, such as anxiety disorders, mood disorders, psychosis and substance use disorders. Additionally, the role of anandamide across epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease, and digestive conditions is explored.Anandamide in Health and Disease is the perfect reference for bioscience researchers seeking to understand anandamide pharmacology, biochemistry, cellular, and molecular biology. Clinicians may also be interested in better understanding the wide-ranging health effects of the mediator.Covers anandamide from a wide variety of specialties and systems.Focuses on the cellular communication aspects of the mediator, and the wide range of effects on human health.Emphasizes the integration of the various roles of anandamide mediated both centrally and peripherally.
