TL;DR: It is shown that the lack of CB1 in mice with a disrupted CB1 gene causes hypophagia and leanness, and the cannabinoid system is an essential endogenous regulator of energy homeostasis via central orexigenic as well as peripheral lipogenic mechanisms and might therefore represent a promising target to treat diseases characterized by impaired energy balance.
The combined dexamethasone/CRH test: A refined laboratory test for psychiatric disorders
TL;DR: In this article, the DEX/CRH test was used to assess hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal-system (HPA) alteration in patients with psychiatric disorders.

Christoph Stein,K. Comisel,E. Haimerl,Alexander Yassouridis,K. Lehrberger,Albert Herz,K. Peter +6 more
TL;DR: Low doses of intraarticular morphine can significantly reduce pain after knee surgery through an action specific to local opioid receptors that reaches its maximal effect three to six hours after injection.

TL;DR: It is shown that patients with hereditary RLS may experience an earlier onset of the disease, compared to those of non-hereditary RLS, which was similar in both groups.
Local analgesic effect of endogenous opioid peptides.
TL;DR: Opioid peptides are present in inflamed synovial tissue and can inhibit pain after knee surgery through an action specific to intra-articular opioid receptors, expanding the gate control theory of pain.
