A cannabinoid receptor, sensitive to O‐1918, is involved in the delayed hypotension induced by anandamide in anaesthetized rats

Abstract

Non-CB(1) cannabinoid vascular receptors, sensitive to O-1918, contribute to the hypotensive effect of anandamide in anaesthetized rats. Activation of these receptors may be therapeutically important as the endocannabinoid system could be activated as a compensatory mechanism in various forms of hypertension.
