Study Highlights Endocannabinoid System’s Role in Muscle Health and CBD’s Therapeutic Potential
A new study published in the peer-reviewed journal Molecular Metabolism highlights the role of the endocannabinoid system in skeletal muscle health, while exploring CBD’s potential benefits for conditions affecting muscle function and metabolism. Researchers from Université Clermont Auvergne examined how the endocannabinoid system, particularly the CB1 receptor, affects skeletal muscle development and function. According to …
Study: CBDA Blocks Key Enzymes Tied to Aggressive Breast Cancer Cell Movement
According to a new study published in The Journal of Biochemistry, cannabidiolic acid (CBDA) can interfere with key signaling pathways involved in the movement of highly aggressive human breast cancer cells. The research was conducted by scientists from Fukuyama University, Hiroshima International University and Daiichi University of Pharmacy. It focused on MDA-MB-231 cells, a widely …
Study: CBD and THC May Help Inhibit Glioblastoma Progression
A new study published in Journal of Applied Genetics found that cannabinoids, including cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), may help inhibit the progression of glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer with limited treatment options. Researchers from Poznan University of Medical Sciences and the Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences examined …
Study: Cannabis Compounds CBN and THCV May Help Manage Inflammatory Pain
A study published by Scientific Reports and conducted by researchers from Vilnius University and the Polish Academy of Sciences found that cannabinol (CBN) and tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV) may help manage inflammatory pain, with both compounds reducing mechanical pain sensitivity in an animal model. The study was conducted by researchers from Vilnius University and the Polish Academy …
THC and Whole-Cannabis Extracts May Reduce Body Weight and Fat Mass, Study Finds
A new study published in The Journal of Physiology found that daily exposure to THC and whole-cannabis extracts can reduce body weight and fat mass, with extracts also improving glucose control. Researchers from the University of California examined the effects of THC and cannabis oil extracts in an animal model of diet-induced obesity, which is …
Study: Cannabinoid Capsules Linked to Pain Relief in Fibromyalgia and Arthritis Patients
A new study published in Clinical Therapeutics found that multiple cannabinoid combinations were associated with improvements in pain and related symptoms among patients with fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis of the knee and/or hip. The study, conducted by researchers from the University of Michigan Medical School and the University at Buffalo, examined whether different combinations …
