The FAAH(-/-) antipruritic phenotype is mediated through a CB1 receptor mechanism of action. FAAH(+/+) and FAAH(-/-) mice on a C57BL/6 background were given an intraperitoneal injection of rimonabant (1 mg/kg) 15 min before compound 48/80. The rimonabant (hatched bars) did not affect scratching behavior in FAAH(+/+) mice compared with 1:1:18 vehicle controls but reversed the phenotypic reduction in FAAH(-/-) mice. ⋆⋆, p < 0.01 versus FAAH(+/+) vehicle group; ##, p < 0.01 versus FAAH(-/-) vehicle group (Tukey's post hoc test). n = 8 mice/group.
