Newest firstAims Although the cannabinoid CB1 receptor has been implicated in atherosclerosis, its cell-specific effects in this disease are not well understood. To address this, we generated a transgenic mouse model to study the role of myeloid CB1 signalling in atherosclerosis. Methods and results Here, we report that male mice with myeloid-specific Cnr1 deficiency on atherogenic background developed smaller lesions and nec…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Studies on cannabis use and adverse cardiovascular outcomes have reported conflicting results. Research on its relationship to calcified arterial plaque remains limited. Methods Cross-sectional data from 2152 participants at Exam 6 (2016-2018) in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) were analyzed, including self-reported cannabis smoking patterns and carotid artery calcification (CAC) as mea…
Background The transient global cerebral hypoperfusion/reperfusion achieved by induction of Bilateral Common Carotid Artery Occlusion followed by Reperfusion (BCCAO/R) has been shown to stimulate early molecular changes that can be easily traced in brain tissue and plasma, and that are indicative of the tissue physiological response to the reperfusion-induced oxidative stress and inflammation. The aim of the prese…
