Abstract
The effect of Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol upon exogenous catecholamine inhibition of synaptic transmission was evaluated in the rabbit superior cervical ganglion. Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (7.5 and 15 μg/kg, i.v.) was without effect upon electrically evoked transmission, but potentiated norepinephrine-induced ganglionic inhibition. Epinephrine, but not dopamine, was similarly facilitated. © 1977.
