CB1 Receptor

Human Endogenous Metabolite

In Vitro The effect of THC is significantly attenuated when slices are pre-treated with Pregnenolone 100 nM (15.1±1.8 % of inhibition). These effects are likely due to a pre-synaptic action of Pregnenolone. Thus, Pregnenolone blocks the increase in paired-pulse ratio (PPR) induced by THC but does not modify either the amplitude or the decay time of miniature EPSC (mEPSC)[1].
In Vivo Pregnenolone administration (2-6 mg/kg) blocks THC-induced food-intake in Wistar rats and in C57BL/6N mice, and blunts the memory impairment induced by THC in mice, but it does not modify these behaviors per se. Injections of Pregnenolone (2 and 4mg/kg) before each self-administration session reduce the intake of WIN 55,212-2 and reduce the break-point in a progressive ratio schedule[1].
Animal Admin Mice and Rats[1] Adult male Wistar rats (weighing 320-340g), Sprague Dawley male rats (weighing 330-350g), C57BL/6N mice (2-3 months) and CD1 mice (weighing 25-30 g at the beginning of the experiments) are used. Pregnenolone is injected subcutaneously (sc). The injection volumes are 1 mL/kg of body weight for rats and 10 mL/kg for mice[1].
