Cannabinoid-induced mesenteric vasodilation through an endothelial site distinct from CB1 or CB2 receptors

ABSTRACT Cannabinoids, including the endogenous ligand arachidonyl ethanolamide (anandamide), elicit not only neurobehavioral but also cardiovascular effects. Two cannabinoid receptors, CB1 and CB2, have been cloned, and studies with the…
