Circulating endocannabinoid concentrations during orthostatic stress.
In animals, the endocannabinoid system is activated during hemodynamic insults and restrains blood pressure in part through sympathetic inhibition.. We tested the hypothesis that hemodynamic stress elicited by head-up tilt testing increases systemic endocannabinoid concentrations in humans and that excessive endocannabinoid availability predisposes to presyncope.. With head-up tilt, 2-arachidonoylglycerol increased, whereas anandamide remained unchanged.. In contrast to our expectations, anandamide plasma concentration at rest was directly correlated with orthostatic tolerance, rather than intolerance.
