Cannabinoid receptor 1 antagonist genistein attenuates marijuana-induced vascular inflammation
Cannabinoid receptor 1 antagonist genistein attenuates marijuana-induced vascular inflammationMarijuana use is on the rise and is associated with cardiovascular disease. Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC), the psychedelic component of marijuana, causes vascular inflammation, oxidative stress, and atherosclerosis via cannabinoid receptor 1. Genistein, a soybean isoflavone, blocks harmful cardiovascular effects of Δ9-THC while preserving clinically useful effects such as sedation and analgesia.Marijuana use is on the rise and is associated with cardiovascular disease.
