Title: How Gender Differences Affect the Mediation of WIN55212-2 Effects by Beta-arrestin 2
Developed under the guidance of Dr. Chris Breivogel, Pharmaceutical Sciences

Research was done on mice to see the different effects that a drug, WIN55212-2, which acts on the same pathway as marijuana, would have on male and female mice with or without a specific signaling molecule, beta-arrestin2. From our findings, beta-arrestin2 has a different role depending on the mouse’s sex.
