Endocannabinoid Signaling in Female Reproduction

"Since then, numerous studies have been published on cannabinoid signaling in female reproductive events, including preimplantation embryo development, oviductal embryo transport, embryo implantation, placentation, and parturition."
"
almost all pregnancy events are regulated by endocannabinoid signaling, and in most cases, optimal outcomes can only be achieved under normal physiological endocannabinoid levels. Either silenced or enhanced endocannabinoid signaling derails these processes. This is a trait of endocannabinoid signaling that provides a route for medical manipulation in each pregnancy event. However, the in-depth mechanism by which endocannabinoid signaling exerts its role is still not clear. In addition, it would be interesting to study the mechanism behind how lower and higher cannabinoid signaling generates similar phenotypes. Further studies on endocannabinoid signaling with respect to female reproduction will generate new molecular mechanisms governing pregnancy events."
