Evidence suggesting the triangulation of the endocannabinoid system, exercise, and neurological health is emerging. In addition to the endocannabinoids -arachidonoylethanolamine (anandamide; AEA) and 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG), the expanded endocannabinoid system, known as the endocannabinoidome (eCBome), appears to be an important player in this relationship. The eCBome includes several endocannabinoid-like mediators such as -acylethanolamines and 2-monoacylglycerols, the enzymes involved in their biosynthesis and degradation, and the receptors they affect. This review aims to relate the functional interactions between aerobic exercise, and the molecular and cellular pathways related to endocannabinoids, in the hypothalamus, hippocampus, and the periphery, with special attention given to associations with emotional state, cognition, and mental health. Given the well-documented roles of many eCBome members in regulating stress and neurological processes, we posit that the eCBome is an important effector of exercise-induced central and peripheral adaptive mechanisms that benefit mental health. Gut microbiota imbalance, affecting the gut-brain axis and metabolism, also influences certain eCBome-modulated inflammation pathways. The integrity of the gut microbiota could thus be crucial in the onset of neuroinflammation and mental conditions. Further studies on how the modulation by exercise of the peripheral eCBome affects brain functions could reveal to be key elements in the prevention and treatment of neuropsychological disorders.
有证据表明,内源性大麻素系统、运动和神经健康之间存在着相互关系。除了内源性大麻素 -arachidonoylethanolamine(anandamide;AEA)和 2-arachidonoylglycerol(2-AG)外,扩展的内源性大麻素系统,即内源性大麻素组(eCBome),似乎是这种关系中的一个重要参与者。eCBome 包括几种内源性大麻素样介质,如 -acylethanolamines 和 2-monoacylglycerols,参与其生物合成和降解的酶,以及它们影响的受体。本综述旨在将有氧运动与涉及内源性大麻素的分子和细胞途径之间的功能相互作用,与情绪状态、认知和心理健康相关联,特别关注与情绪状态、认知和心理健康相关的关联。鉴于许多 eCBome 成员在调节压力和神经过程方面的作用已得到充分证实,我们假设 eCBome 是运动诱导的中枢和外周适应机制的重要效应器,这些机制有益于心理健康。肠道微生物群失衡会影响肠道-大脑轴和代谢,也会影响某些 eCBome 调节的炎症途径。因此,肠道微生物群的完整性对于神经炎症和精神状况的发生可能至关重要。进一步研究运动对外周 eCBome 的调节如何影响大脑功能,可能揭示出预防和治疗神经心理障碍的关键因素。
