The endocannabinoid anandamide causes endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation in human mesenteric arteries

The endocannabinoid anandamide (AEA) causes vasorelaxation in animal studies. Although circulating AEA levels are increased in many pathologies, little is known about its vascular effects in humans. The aim of this work was to characterise the effects of AEA in human arteries. Ethical approval was g...
