Involvement of cannabinoids in the cardioprotection induced by lipopolysaccharideC Lagneux
, , CP 6128, Succursale Centre Ville, , , Canada, H3C 3J7
Br J Pharmacol 132:793-6. 2001
..Our results suggest an involvement of endocannabinoids, acting through the CB2 receptors, in the cardioprotection triggered by LPS against myocardial ischaemia. This could be attributed to a relationship between cannabinoids and NO...
