Madrid, Spain: Naturally occurring chemicals in the human body that mimic the effects of plant cannabinoids moderate human emotions and control anxiety, according to findings<\/a> published in the Spanish scientific journal Revista de Neurologica.<\/p>\n Investigators at Complutense University in Madrid report that manipulating of the endocannabinoid system may one day be a course of treatment in the management of certain emotional disorders.<\/p>\n “[P]resent data reinforce the involvement of the endocannabinoid system in the control of emotional homeostasis and further suggest the pharmacological manipulation of the endocannabinoid system [is] a potential therapeutic tool in the management of anxiety-related disorders,” authors concluded.<\/p>\n Previous research on the endocannabinoid system indicates that endogenous cannabionoids moderate numerous biological functions, including appetite<\/a>, blood pressure<\/a>, reproduction<\/a>, motor coordination<\/a>, and bone mass<\/a>.<\/p>\n For more information, please contact Paul Armentano, NORML Deputy Director, at: paul@norml.org.
