Study: Minor Cannabinoids Show Distinct Effects on Pain-Sensing Neurons
New research published in The Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics by researchers from the University of California finds that several lesser-known marijuana compounds—including cannabidiol (CBD), cannabigerol (CBG), cannabinol (CBN), and cannabichromene (CBC)—interact with pain-sensing neurons in notably different ways, offering insight into how they may contribute to pain relief. The study focused on dorsal …
Study: Cannabis Seed Feed Boosts Chicken Nutrition Without Impacting Growth
According to a new study published in the Canadian Journal of Animal Science, adding cannabis seeds to poultry feed can improve the nutritional quality of chicken meat without negatively impacting overall growth. The study, conducted by researchers from University Mohammed First, University Chouaib Doukkali, and the Royal Institute of Livestock Fouarat, examined the effects of …
Marijuana Extract and Aerobic Exercise Linked to Reduced Inflammation in Fatty Liver Model
A study published today by the journal Gene Reports found that a marijuana extract used alongside aerobic exercise was associated with favorable changes in gene activity tied to inflammation and metabolic signaling in rats with fatty liver. The research, conducted by scientists from Islamic Azad University, looked at whether combining exercise with a cannabis plant …
Study: CBD Blocks HIV Infection Pathways in Immune Cells, Shows Potential as Preventative Therapy
New research published this month in Mucosal Immunology finds that cannabidiol (CBD) may interfere with multiple early-stage processes involved in HIV transmission, including direct infection of key immune cells and viral transfer within mucosal tissue. The study, conducted by researchers from Université Paris Cité, focused on how HIV-1 spreads through mucosal surfaces, where the virus …
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: CBD May Increase THC Levels in Blood When Cannabis Is Vaporized, Research Finds
A study published in Drug and Alcohol Dependence reports that cannabidiol (CBD) may increase the amount of THC circulating in the bloodstream when the two are inhaled together, potentially altering how cannabis affects users. The study was conducted by researchers from King’s College London and University College London, and examined how CBD influences the pharmacokinetics …
Study: CBD-Infused Biomimetic Nanoparticles Show Neuroprotective Effects in Stroke Model
A new study published in Molecular Pharmaceutics Journal examines a novel approach to treating ischemic stroke using a cannabidiol (CBD)-based nanoparticle designed to target multiple aspects of the condition’s underlying biology. Researchers from Yantai Institute of Technology, Yantai Center for Food and Drug Control, and Guangxi University developed a multifunctional nanoformulation that combines CBD with …
Study Finds CBD May Help Relieve Pain in Dogs With Osteoarthritis
A study published in Veterinary Evidence finds that cannabidiol (CBD) oil may provide additional pain relief for dogs with osteoarthritis when used alongside standard treatments. Researchers analyzed four clinical studies examining whether oral CBD supplementation improves pain and mobility outcomes in dogs diagnosed with osteoarthritis. The studies included two randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind crossover trials, along …
CBD-Infused Hydrogels Show Potential for Treating Chronic Wounds, Study Finds
Published in Current Reviews in Clinical and Experimental Pharmacology, a new review finds that cannabidiol (CBD) may have strong potential in treating chronic wounds when delivered through advanced hydrogel systems designed to improve healing. Researchers from Amity University examined how CBD’s anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial and tissue-repair properties could be harnessed more effectively through “smart” hydrogels—engineered …
