1 The aim of this work was to determine whether Capsaicin may exert a vascular regulation through the activation of CB1 and/or CB2 receptors causing vasorelaxation in the rat aorta. Capsaicin cannabinoid receptor 1 Rattus norvegicus
2 In these experiments, we found that the inhibition of CB1 using AM281, decreases the vasorelaxant effect caused by Capsaicin. Capsaicin cannabinoid receptor 1 Rattus norvegicus
3 These findings are supported by CB1 docking simulation which predicted a binding site on CB1 receptors for Capsaicin. Capsaicin cannabinoid receptor 1 Rattus norvegicus
