Study: CBG-Dominant Cannabis Extract Reduces Fat Cell Formation and Boosts Fat Burning
A study published this month in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences reports that a cannabigerol (CBG)-dominant cannabis extract may help reduce processes linked to obesity by limiting fat cell development while increasing fat breakdown.
Study: Cannabigerorcinic Acid (CBGOA) Shows Neuroprotective Effects in Human Cell Model of Stroke
New research published in the Journal of Cannabis Research and conducted by scientists at the University of Rhode Island has identified a little-known cannabinoid, cannabigerorcinic acid (CBGOA), as a potential neuroprotective compound in the context of stroke.
Study: Root Bacteria Boosted CBGA 27% and Cut THC 16% in Hydroponic Cannabis Plants
A new study published by Plant Physiology from researchers at Leiden University in the Netherlands found that plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria, or PGPR, can colonize marijuana roots and meaningfully shift how the plant produces and preserves cannabinoids, including increasing the key precursor CBGA while reducing THC.
Study: Lesser-Known Marijuana Compounds Like CBDV and CBG Can Reduce Inflammation, Especially When Combined
A new study published by the Journal of Ethnopharmacology suggests that several non-intoxicating compounds found in marijuana may have meaningful anti-inflammatory effects, particularly when combined with other components naturally present in the plant. The research was conducted by scientists from the University of Chemistry and Technology and the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic.
