Serum Endocannabinoid Levels in Patients With End-Stage Renal Disease

Previous studies have shown that the endocannabinoid system plays a major role in energy metabolism through the actions of its main mediators, 2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycerol (2-AG) and anandamide (AEA).We examined serum levels of major endocannabinoid mediators and their association with clinical parameters in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD).Serum concentrations of 2-AG and AEA were measured in patients on maintenance hemodialysis (MHD)...
