Study on synthesis and release of endocannabinoids in the rat central nervous system. Supervisors: Professor Charles A. Marsden, Professor David A. Kendall, Professor David A. Barrett Key features of the research: • Successful development of an analytical method (liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry; LC-MS/MS) for sensitive and accurate measurement of endocannabinoids (ECs) in biological samples. • Application of this method to investigate synthesis and release of ECs in rat cortical slices and incubation medium in vitro and the effects of biological interventions • This analytical method was further applied to study the release of ECs in vivo using microdialysis
