Activation of cannabinoid type 2 (CB2) receptors promotes the maintenance of redox homeostasis and protects against oxidative distress in the Neotropical freshwater fish matrinxã Brycon amazonicus (Characiformes: Bryconidae)

Activation of cannabinoid type 2 (CB2) receptors promotes the maintenance of redox homeostasis and protects against oxidative distress in the Neotropical freshwater fish matrinxã Brycon amazonicus (Characiformes: Bryconidae)

Abstract Recent evidence indicates significant interaction of cannabinoid receptors (CB1 and CB2) with redox mechanisms. This study investigated the effects of the cannabinoid agonists WIN 55,212-2 (CB1+CB2) and HU-308 (CB2) on oxidative biomarkers in the liver and heart of the fish Brycon amazonicu...
