Study: Cannabinol (CBN) May Support Neuronal Health and Reduce Cell Stress
New research finds that cannabinol (CBN), a lesser-known compound found in marijuana, could play a protective role in treating neurodegenerative diseases by reducing cell stress and promoting neuronal survival. The study, conducted by scientists from the University of Eastern Piedmont and the University “G. d’Annunzio” Chieti-Pescara and published in the journal Antioxidants, explored the effects …
Study Finds Cannabis Sugar Leaf Extract Kills Multiple Bacterial Pathogens
According to a recently published study, cannabis sugar leaves demonstrate promising antimicrobial effects against several bacterial pathogens, including Bacillus cereus, Vibrio cholerae, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Staphylococcus epidermidis. For the study, published by the Journal of Advanced Veterinary and Animal Research, researchers from Rajamangala University of Technology Isan and Kasetsart University prepared ethanol-based extracts …
Study: CBD May Protect Against Heart Failure by Improving Mitochondrial Function and Reducing Inflammation
A new study has found that cannabidiol (CBD) may offer significant cardioprotective benefits for individuals with heart failure by preserving mitochondrial function, limiting oxidative stress, and reducing inflammation.
