Don't Sweat It: Cannabinoid CB1 Receptors Reduce Sweating in a Mouse Model. [PDF]
FASEB JA new galvanic skin response‐based approach offers a simple method for measuring sweating in the paws of mice. This method is used to demonstrate that cannabinoid CB1 receptors reduce baseline sweating in mice, likely via inhibition of sympathetic acetylcholine release via axonal CB1 receptors.
