Loss of myeloid cannabinoid CB1 receptor confers atheroprotection by reducing macrophage proliferation and immunometabolic reprogramming
2023-04-06
Abstract excerpt
Although the cannabinoid CB1 receptor has been implicated in atherosclerosis, its cell-specific effects in this disease are not well understood. Here, we report that male mice with myeloid-specific Cnr1 deficiency on atherogenic background developed smaller lesions and necrotic cores than controls, while only minor genotype differences were observed in females. Male Cnr1 deficient mice showed reduced arterial mo...
