Over the past decades scientists have found that cannabinoid receptors and their endogenous ligands, the endocannabinoids, are involved in a vast array of physiological functions, including helping to control brain activity, energy metabolism, heart function, the immune system and even reproduction. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eCannabinoids\u003c\/i\u003e, Vincenzo Di Marzo has assembled contributions from international experts to provide the definitive guide to what continues to be a rapidly developing research field. After an introductory historical chapter, the book continues by looking at the biochemical, genetic and molecular elements of cannabinoids, followed by chapters covering their role in health and disease. The final chapter outlines the need for a new nomenclature to reflect the complex and multi-disciplinary nature of this area. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e An authoritative guide to the history, development and possible future of cannabinoid research. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Includes contributions from leading international experts in the field. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Clearly written, well organised and logically presented. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eCannabinoids\u003c\/i\u003e will prove invaluable to researchers, practitioners and students across a wide range of disciplines, needing an up-to-date guide to this significant area of research.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVicenzo Di Marzo\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eEndocannabinoid Research Group, Pozzuoli, Italy\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18 August 2014\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley-Blackwell\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781118451298\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e320\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22.56\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44310647767180,"sku":"9781118451298","price":135.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781118451298_6e566645-d506-46a2-b84b-dc54bea29283.jpg?v=1780103217","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781118451298","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
