Changes in motor and learning behaviors of rats prenatally exposed to WIN 55212-2, a cannabinoid receptor agonist
Abstract* Introduction: Cannabis consumption during pregnancy may affect fetal growth, motor performance, memory and cognitive functions. Methods: Primiparous pregnant Wistar rats were randomly assigned to 4 treatment groups (6 rats per group) consisting of control and sham groups as well as 2 groups treated with Win. Win treated groups received daily s.c. injections of 0.5 or 1 mg/kg WIN ...
متن کاملEffect of WIN 55212-2, a cannabinoid receptor agonist, on aqueous humor dynamics in monkeys.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of WIN 55212-2, a cannabinoid receptor agonist, on intraocular pressure and aqueous humor dynamics in normal monkeys and monkeys with glaucoma. METHODS Intraocular pressure was measured prior to and up to 6 hours after the topical administration of WIN 55212-2 to 1 eye of 5 normal monkeys and to the glaucomatous eye of 8 monkeys with unilateral laser-induced ...

متن کاملBiphasic modulation of voltage-dependent currents of retinal cones by cannabinoid CB1 receptor agonist WIN 55212-2.
Endogenous cannabinoids modulate neurotransmitter action and release in the brain. The effects are exerted on membrane permeability to Ca2+ and K+ via protein kinase A (PKA). Cannabinoid CB1 receptors are present at the synaptic terminals of cones in goldfish retina. We investigated the effects of CB1 receptor agonist WIN 55212-2 on voltage-gated currents of goldfish cones. Whole-cell currents ...
متن کاملRole of Nitric Oxide in the Antipruritic Effect of WIN 55,212-2, a Cannabinoid Agonist
Introduction: For centuries, cannabinoids are known to be effective in pain relief. Itch is an unpleasant sensation that provokes a desire to scratch. Since itch and pain are two sensations sharing a lot in common, we aimed to investigate whether the cannabinoid agonist WIN 55,212-2 reduces serotonin-induced scratching behavior and also observe whether modulation of nitric oxide (NO) production...
