Summary of main findings regarding the alterations of the ECS components in animals and human studies in Cocaine Use Disorders.

Opiate Use Disorders
Authors Type of Sample Type of Evaluation Outcomes
[469] Humans Peripheral
Plasma
In morphine abusers, CB2r were upregulated in the PBMCs.
[471] Animals CB1r KO vs WT mice CB1r KO mice, the reinforcing properties of morphine and the severity of the morphine withdrawal syndrome were strongly ↓.
[472] Animals CB1r KO vs WT mice The sensitization to the locomotor response induced by chronic morphine treatment was abolished in CB1r KO mice.
Morphine induced a CPP in WT mice but failed to produce any response in CB1r KO mice
[469] Animals Sprague-Dawley rats under morphine exposure vs control rats Rats under morphine exposure exhibited CB2r upregulation in the spleen and PBMCs
[473] Animals CBr2 KO vs KO mice In WT mice, LY2828360 blocked morphine-induced reward in a CPP paradigm, whereas morphine-induced reward was absent in CB2r KO mice. LY2828360 partially attenuated naloxone-precipitated opioid withdrawal in morphine-dependent WT mice, whereas this withdrawal was markedly exacerbated in CB2r KO mice
[474] Animals Maternally deprived adolescent rats Maternally deprived adolescent rats exhibited ↑ AEA in the NAcc, the Cpu nucleus, and the mesencephalon
Maternally deprived adult rats, showed ↑ AEA and 2-AG in the NAcc, and ↑ 2-AG in the CPu nucleus,
