Concentration–response curves for the CP 55,940-stimulated specific [35S]GTPγS binding in vehicle (control) or MβCD pretreated frontal cortical synaptosomes derived from Glu-CB1-RS and GABA-CB1-RS mice. Values correspond to the means ± SEM of three independent experiments performed in triplicate, using synaptosomes enriched preparations obtained from a pool of the frontal cortices of eight adult mice. Unpaired (%Emax) or paired (pEC50, Basal) two-tailed t-test.
