20. 11. The functionality of the hCB2 receptor has not yet been well established. Its localization outside the central nervous system makes it a likely canditate for being involved in the peripheral events mediated by cannabinoid, with no psychotropic effect.
21. 1 receptor filtration binding assay was performed similarly to the one described in reference 2 (a). Details on the specific of our assays will be found in the following paper; Greig G. M.; Dufresne, C.; Evans J.; Favreau, L.; Francis D.; Gallant, M.; Gareau, Y.; Kargman S.; Labelle, M.; Metters, K. M.; Rochette C.; Ruel R.; Sawyer N.; Slipetz, D. M.; Tremblay N.; Weech P.
