Cannabinoids Regulate the Diameter of Pericyte-Containing Retinal Capillaries in Rats
Background/Aims: Cannabinoids are vasoactive substances that act as key regulators of arterial tone in the blood vessels supplying peripheral tissues and the central nervous system. We therefore investigated the effect of cannabinoids on retinal capillaries and pericytes. Methods: The effects of can...
