The Effects of Endogenous Cannabinoids on the Mammalian Respiratory System: A Scoping Review of Cyclooxygenase-Dependent Pathways.

The endogenous cannabinoid (endocannabinoid) system is an emerging target for the treatment of chronic inflammatory disease with the potential to advance treatment for many respiratory illnesses. The varied effects of endocannabinoids across tissue types makes it imperative that we explore their physiologic impact within unique tissue targets. The aim of this scoping review is to explore the impact of endocannabinoid activity on eicosanoid production as a measure of human airway inflammation.
