Novel time-dependent vascular actions of Delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol mediated by peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma.

Time-Dependent Vascular Effects of Endocannabinoids Mediated by Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Gamma (PPARγ)

Data indicate that endocannabinoids cause time-dependent, PPARγ-mediated vasorelaxation, which may represent a novel mechanism by which endoc cannabinoidoids are involved in vascular regulation.

Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol treatment improved endothelium-dependent relaxation on streptozotocin/nicotinamide-induced diabetic rat aorta.

Results suggested that THC improved endothelium-dependent relaxation in STZ/NIC induced diabetic rat aorta and that these effects were mediated at least in part, by control of hyperglycemia and enhanced endothelial nitric oxide bioavailability.

Anandamide-induced vasorelaxation in rabbit aortic rings has two components: G protein dependent and independent.

In the rabbit aorta, methanandamide-induced vasorelaxation exhibits two components: in endothelium-intact rings, an SR141716A-sensitive, non-CB(1) receptor component that requires pertussis toxin-sensitive G proteins and nitric oxide (NO) production; and in endot Helium-denuded rings, a component that is mediated by VR(1).

Anandamide and delta 9-THC dilation of cerebral arterioles is blocked by indomethacin.

Results show that AN and delta 9-THC can modulate cerebral arterioles, likely by stimulating release and metabolism of endogenous arachidonic acid, and whether dilation is due to vasodilator eicosanoids, or other vasoactive agents whose synthesis or release is cyclooxygenase dependent, is uncertain.

Selective ligands and cellular effectors of a G protein-coupled endothelial cannabinoid receptor.

Findings indicate that abn-cbd is a selective agonist and that O-1918 is a Selective, silent antagonist of an endothelial "anandamide receptor", which is distinct from CB(1) or CB(2) receptors and is coupled through G(i)/G(o) to the PI3 kinase/Akt signaling pathway.

The aminoalkylindoles relax rat small mesenteric artery mainly by inhibiting Ca(2+) influx into vascular smooth muscle and inhibited CaCl(2) contractions in methoxamine-stimulated vessels previously depleted of intracellular Ca( 2+).
