Circulating endocannabinoid concentrations during orthostatic stress.
    Clinical autonomic research : official journal of the Clinical Autonomic Research Society, 2009, Volume: 19, Issue:6

    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.
