Background: Neurodegeneration is a major pathological feature of Alzheimer's disease (AD). During this process, it is known that not only neurons are affected but also glial cells. However, the biological mechanisms driving brain cellular vulnerability and resilience to neurodegeneration in AD remain elusive.

Broad-spectrum cannabis oil ameliorates reserpine-induced fibromyalgia model in mice.

Fibromyalgia (FM) is an idiopathic disorder characterized by generalized pain and associated symptoms such as depression and anxiety. Cannabis sativa shows different pharmacological activities, such as analgesic, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, and immunomodulatory. Associated with this, the use of an oil with low concentrations of THC can reduce the psychomimetic adverse effects of the plant.

Pramipexole, a dopamine D3/D2 receptor-preferring agonist, attenuates reserpine-induced fibromyalgia-like model in mice.

Fibromyalgia (FM) is a complex pathology described as persistent hyperalgesia including somatic and mood dysfunctions, depression and anxiety. Although the etiology of FM is still unknown, a significant decrease in biogenic amines is a common characteristic in its pathogenesis. Here, our main objective was to investigate the role of dopamine D3/D2 receptor during the reserpine-induced pain in mice.
