CBD May Help Reverse Cognitive Decline Linked to Olanzapine and High-Fat Diet, Finds New Study
New research published in Archives of Physiology and Biochemistry finds that cannabidiol (CBD) may help counteract cognitive decline associated with antipsychotic use and a high-fat diet, with effects comparable to a commonly prescribed metabolic drug. The study, conducted by researchers from Babcock University and the University of Rwanda, examined the impact of CBD on adult …
Study Finds Cannabinoid Compounds Trigger Ferroptosis in Aggressive Brain Cancer Cells
According to a study published by The Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics. cannabinoid compounds may help kill glioblastoma cells by triggering ferroptosis, a form of iron-dependent cell death. The study was conducted by researchers from Ankara Medipol University. It focused on glioblastoma multiforme, the most commonly diagnosed brain tumor, which is known for its …
Study: Cannabidiol Shows Potential to Target Key Drivers of Diabetic Heart Disease
A study published in Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy reports cannabidiol (CBD) may help address multiple underlying mechanisms involved in diabetic heart disease. Conducted by researchers from Bowen University, North-West University, Nelson Mandela University, and the University of the Western Cape, the review highlights CBD’s potential to impact several pathways linked to cardiovascular complications in people with …
Study: CBD Boosts Methotrexate’s Anti-Arthritis Effects While Reducing Reproductive Toxicity
A new study published by the journal International Immunopharmacology found that combining cannabidiol (CBD) with methotrexate may improve treatment outcomes for rheumatoid arthritis while also reducing some of methotrexate’s harmful side effects. Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College examined whether CBD could work alongside methotrexate, a commonly used …
Study: CBN and THCV Effective in Reducing Alcohol Intake, Outperforming CBD
New research published this week in Alcohol and Alcoholism and conducted by researchers from Vilnius University in Lithuania finds that certain non-psychoactive marijuana compounds may significantly reduce alcohol consumption, with some showing greater effectiveness than cannabidiol (CBD).
