Hemp Seed Protein Treatment May Reduce Muscle Loss and Improve Strength, Study Finds
A hemp seed protein treatment helped prevent muscle loss and improve strength in an animal model of muscle wasting (atrophy), according to a study published today in Food Research International. Researchers from Sunway University in Malaysia and several universities in South Korea examined hemp seed protein that had been broken down into smaller peptides through …
Hemp Seed Oil Nanoemulgel Shows Promise for Treating Psoriasis
A study published today by the International Journal of Biological Macromolecules found that a hemp seed oil-based nanoemulgel significantly reduced inflammation in an animal model of psoriasis. Researchers from the Gyeongsangbuk-do Government Public Institute of Health & Environment, Kyungpook National University, and the University of California-Davis developed a hydrocolloid-based nanoemulgel using hemp seed oil, which …
Study: Hemp Seed Hulls May Strengthen Bioplastics While Improving Biodegradability
A study published recently in the peer-reviewed journal Molecules found that hemp seed hulls, an often-overlooked agricultural byproduct, may help improve the strength and biodegradability of cellulose acetate-based bioplastics. Researchers from Kaunas University of Technology examined whether chemically modified hemp seed hulls could be used as biofillers in thermoplastic biocomposites. The study focused on cellulose acetate, …
Study Finds CBD and Hemp Seed Oil Improve Jaw Function Over Time in Patients With Myofascial Pain Disorder
Jaw function improved over time in patients with myofascial pain disorder (MPD) who received either cannabidiol (CBD) or hemp seed oil, according to a new clinical trial published in Medical Cannabis and Cannabinoids. The study, conducted by researchers from Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons and Weill Cornell Medicine, used a randomized, double-blind, …
Hemp Compounds Show Promise for Managing Blood Sugar Through Gut-Based Mechanisms
Researchers from Konyang University and the Korea Institute of Oriental Medicine report that several compounds derived from hemp seeds may help regulate blood sugar by targeting how glucose is processed in the gut, according to a study published in Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy. The study focused on three naturally occurring compounds—Cannabisin A, Cannabisin B, and Cannabisin …
Study: Hemp Seed Protein Patties Closer to Beef Than Other Plant-Based Alternatives in Nutrition, Safety and Flavor
A new study published in Food Chemistry found that patties made with hemp seed protein may come closer to beef than other plant-based alternatives when it comes to nutrition, safety and flavor. Researchers from Guangdong Medical University and Changchun University of Chinese Medicine compared hemp seed protein meat patties to other plant-based protein patties as …
Study: Hemp Seed Compounds Show Potential for Treating Diabetes and Obesity
Two naturally occurring compounds derived from hemp seed hulls can help improve blood sugar control and restore key metabolic functions tied to diabetes and obesity, according to a new study published in Phytomedicine.
Study: Hemp Protein Cuts Cholesterol by Nearly 40% in Lab Tests
A new study published in Food Research International suggests that a modified form of hemp protein may help reduce cholesterol and triglyceride levels by targeting key enzymes and metabolic pathways involved in fat storage.
Study: Hempseed Meal Boosts Egg Production and Omega Fatty Acids in Laying Hens
A study published today by the journal Poultry Science finds that adding hempseed meal to the diets of laying hens can improve egg production, feed efficiency and yolk fatty acid content without harming the birds’ health.
