Özet

1 The endocannabinoid anandamide has been reported to affect neuronal cells, immune cells and smooth muscle cells via either CBI or CB2 receptors. In endothelial cells, the receptors involved in activating signal transduction are still unclear, despite the fact that anandamide is produced in this cell type.
