Activation of CB1 receptor enhances scotopic ERG wave amplitudes in the rat retina
(A) ERG sample traces before (left, top) and after the intravitreal injection of WIN (1 μM, n = 8 animals, left, bottom). CB1R activation increased b-wave amplitude independently of light intensity (middle), while a-wave amplitude increased only during high light intensity stimulation (right).
(B) ERG sample traces before and after the co-application of WIN and AM251 (4 μM, n = 9 animals, left). Note that the co-application of WIN and AM251 eliminated the WIN-mediated effects on the ERG b-wave (middle) but did not prevent the increase in the ERG a-wave (right). Data are presented as mean ± S.E.M and open circles represent a single animal. ∗p < 0.05. Comparisons were made using paired t-tests or Wilcoxon signed-rank tests. For statistics, see Table S1.
