Key Takeaways From This Case Study: CBD has been shown to affect redox balance by modifying the level and activity of both oxidants and antioxidants. CBD, like other antioxidants, interrupts free radical chain reactions, capturing free radicals or transforming them into less active forms. CBD protects lipids and proteins against oxidative...
Pharmacotherapeutic Considerations For Use Of Cannabinoids to Relieve Pain In Patients With Malignant Diseases
Key Takeaways From This Case Study: The analgesic effect of cannabinoids as a result of binding of cannabinoids to cannabinoid receptors has been confirmed, and the role of the endocannabinoid system in pain relief has been verified in various types of pain: somatic, visceral and neuropathy. There is evidence that...
Cannabinoids As Novel Anti-Inflammatory Drugs
Key Takeaways From This Case Study: Cannabinoid receptors include CB1, which is predominantly expressed in the brain, and CB2, which is primarily found on the cells of the immune system. The fact that both CB1 and CB2 receptors have been found on immune cells suggests that cannabinoids play an important...
The Endocannabinoid System of Animals
Key Takeaways From This Case Study:Studies show that the Endocannabinoid System (ECS) is found in all animals, including dogs. There are 2 major differences regarding the ECS between dogs and humans. 1. The number of CB1 receptors in dogs exceed those found in human. 2. Dogs’ epidermal architecture contains two to...
Translational Investigation of the Therapeutic Potential of CBD: Toward a New Age
Key Takeaways From This Case Study: Studies have shown that CBD may help reduce chronic pain by impacting endocannabinoid receptor activity, reducing inflammation and interacting with neurotransmitters. There is evidence that cannabinoids are safe and modestly effective in neuropathic pain and also for relieving pain in patients with malignant diseases. The...
