It has been shown previously that the selective cannabinoid CB1 receptor antagonist, rimonabant (SR141716), reduced the intake of palatable food as well as the self-administration of several drugs of abuse, suggesting that endocannabinoid systems play a role in brain reward function. The present study investigated whether a cannabinoid step was involved in food-seeking behavior induced by explicit stimuli, using an operant reinstatement procedure in rats. Experimental sessions consisted of a 15-min food rewarded period, followed by a 45-min extinction period. Rimonabant did not affect the response reinstatement induced by noncontingent delivery of food pellets, but prevented (0.03-0.3 mg/kg) the potentiation by quinelorane, a dopamine D3 receptor-preferring agonist, of food-seeking behavior. A possible link between cannabinoid processes and D3- and/or D2-mediated dopaminergic transmission was further investigated by studying Fos protein expression in cortico-limbic structures in D3 (D3

Overweight children with high cholesterol, blood pressure and sugar levels are much more likely than children with normal readings to have heart disease or strokes by their 30s and 40s, a study suggests. The report tracks children for the longest time span so far -- until they were 38 on average -- to look for a link between early red flags for cardiovascular disease and adult health problems.

If you read The Winemaker’s Wife, you’ve already seen my picture. But of the two I took, that was the one I preferred to showcase the wines from the Rioja tasting Tuesday. I went into it with 2 possible bottles, both of which I proclaimed as “cheating” when I entered. One was from the wrong but nearby region of Ribera del Duero, with similar grapes, and the other was a rosado. While technically that wasn’t illegal, I assumed the cellar rat meant red when he picked the theme. In Rioja, Spain’s dominant wine region, red wines are made from Tempranillo, Garnacha (Grenache), Mazuelo (Carignan), and Graciano. In some rare cases, Cabernet Sauvignon is allowed. With the whites, Malvasia and Viura take the stage. I actually wanted to bring a white but put off shopping too long and didn’t have as many choices. For an industry that started out fairly isolated in the 15th century, growing with monks providing refreshments for pilgrims on religious jo

Bloody jihad-fueled conflict could reignite as Jakarta dithers.Intelligence reports in Indonesia and Australia are signaling that murderous sectarian violence is about to return to the Poso area of central Sulawesi by such fundamentalist organizations as Jemaah Islamiah.Last week, claiming information that militants blamed for the deadly series of bombings in Bali and Jakarta over the past several years could be in advanced stages of planning Poso attacks, Canberra warned Australian nationals to avoid all travel to Central Sulawesi. Similar warnings are in effect for the US and New Zealand.
