Study: CBD Improves Memory and Reduces Alzheimer’s-Linked Tau Buildup
A new study published by Metabolic Brain Disease found that cannabidiol (CBD) improved spatial learning and memory while reducing Alzheimer’s-related tau changes in a rat model of the disease. Researchers from Universiti Putra Malaysia, MAHSA University and Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman examined whether CBD could affect the PP2A-tau pathway, which is tied to neurofibrillary tangle …
CBD Suppresses HIV Replication and Immune Inflammation, Finds Study
A new study published by Brain, Behavior, and Immunity found that cannabidiol (CBD) suppressed HIV and SIV replication in laboratory models, while also reducing inflammation tied to infection. Researchers from Emory University School of Medicine, Drexel University College of Medicine, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Florida State University, University of California San Diego, Weill …
Study: CBD Enhances Oxycodone’s Pain-Relieving Effects Without Increasing Reward-Related Effects
A study published today by The Journal of Pain found that cannabidiol (CBD) enhanced the pain-relieving effects of oxycodone without increasing reward-related effects tied to the opioid. The study, conducted by researchers from the University of Florida and Texas A&M University College of Dentistry, examined whether CBD could increase the antinociceptive effects of oxycodone while …
Study: CBD Increases Tamoxifen-Induced Cell Death in Breast Cancer Cells
A study published in the peer-reviewed journal Cell & Bioscience found that cannabidiol (CBD) may help restore sensitivity to tamoxifen in estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer, potentially improving the effectiveness of a widely used endocrine therapy. Researchers from Korea University College of Medicine investigated the effects of CBD on tamoxifen-resistant breast cancer models, focusing on ER-positive breast …
Study: CBD Well Tolerated in Children With Autism, Linked to Improvements in Social Symptoms
A new study published in the Journal of Child and Adolescent Psychopharmacology found that cannabidiol (CBD) was well tolerated in children and teenagers with autism spectrum disorder, with researchers reporting significant improvements in social symptoms and overall target symptoms during a six-week trial. The study was conducted by researchers from NYU Grossman School of Medicine …
Clinical Trial Finds High-Dose CBD Reduces Neuropathic Pain in Spinal Cord Injury Patients
A new placebo-controlled clinical trial found that high-dose cannabidiol (CBD) significantly reduced chronic neuropathic pain in adults with spinal cord injuries, with researchers saying the findings support further study in larger trials. The study, published by eClinicalMedicine, was conducted by researchers from the University of Sydney and the University of New South Wales. It examined …
Study Finds CBD Improves Memory and Reduces Brain Oxidative Stress After Chronic Stress and Alcohol Exposure
A new study published in the Journal of Xenobiotics found that cannabidiol (CBD) improved memory-related performance and reduced brain oxidative stress in female rats exposed to chronic stress and alcohol. Researchers from George Emil Palade University of Medicine studied 16 female Wistar rats, half of which received CBD at a dose of 10 mg/kg. The …
Clinical Trial Finds Full-Spectrum CBD Well Tolerated in Adults With HIV
A randomized clinical trial found that low-dose full-spectrum cannabidiol (CBD) was well tolerated over 12 weeks among adults with long-term, virally suppressed HIV, with no meaningful negative impact on liver function, kidney function or key HIV-related measures. The study, published in Cannabis & Cannabinoid Research, was conducted by researchers affiliated with Centre Hospitalier Universitaire d’Orléans, …
CBD May Reduce Muscle Aging by Lowering Oxidative Stress and Modulating Gut Microbiota, Finds Study
Cannabidiol (CBD) may help slow age-related muscle decline by reducing oxidative stress, limiting inflammation and altering gut microbiota, according to a study published today by the journal Food Bioscience. The study, conducted by researchers from Qiqihar University in China, examined CBD’s effects in C2C12 muscle cells and mice with D-galactose-induced aging, a model commonly used …
