Abstract
The endocannabinoid, anandamide (AEA), stimulates cannabinoid receptors (CBRs) and is enriched in the kidney, especially the renal medulla. AEA infused into the renal outer medulla of mice stimulates urine flow rate and salt excretion. Here we show that these effects are blocked by the CBR type 1 (CB1) inverse agonist, rimonabant. Immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated the presence of CB1 in thick ascending limb (TAL) tubules. Western...
