2009, International Journal of Developmental NeuroscienceCitation Excerpt :Several reports have indicated that the mammalian retina presents all elements of the endocannabinoid/vanilloid machinery. The retina of different species can produce and hydrolyse anandamide, a cannabinoid CB1 and TRPV1 receptor agonist, as well as other endocannabinoids (Matsuda et al., 1997; Bisogno et al., 1999; Straiker et al., 1999a, 1999b; Yazulla et al., 1999; Straiker and Sullivan, 2003; Chen et al., 2005; Glaser et al., 2005). In the rat retina, 2-arachidonoylglycerol was found to be the main cannabinoid compound (Straiker et al., 1999a).
