Your Endocannabinoid System
MAGL (Monoacylglycerol Lipase): An Endocannabinoid Recylcing Enzyme
MAGL (Monoacylglycerol Lipase) is an endocannabinoid recycling enzyme that breakds down 2-AG into arachadonic acid and glycerol.
2-AG (2-arachidonoylglycerol): The Endocannabinoid Of Balance
While difficult to tease apart its specific impacts, 2-AG (2-arachidonoylglycerol) works inside the endocannabinoid system to achieve homeostasis.
CB2 receptors: Immune Support Within The Endocannabinoid System
CB2 receptors are found predominantly throughout the body and help the endocannabinoid system prepare an immune response, especially near wounds.
CB1 Receptors: The Endocannabinoid System’s Catcher’s Mitts For THC
CB1 Receptors, short for Cannabinoid Receptor 1, is the name of a molecule-sized docking station found on nerve cells throughout the endocannabinoid system.
Anandamide: A Critical Neurotransmitter In The Endocannabinoid System
Anandamide, one of two endocannabinoids making up the endocannabinoid system, is a neurotransmitter that is mimicked by THC and responsible for homeostasis.
