Cannabinoid receptor 2 signaling does not modulate atherogenesis in mice.

Cannabinoid receptor 2 signaling does not modulate atherogenesis in mice.

BACKGROUND:Strong evidence supports a protective role of the cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB(2)) in inflammation and atherosclerosis. However, direct proof of its involvement in lesion formation is lacking. Therefore, the present study aimed to characterize the role of the CB(2) receptor in Murine athero...
