Lire la suiteBeneficial effects of the phytocannabinoid Δ9-THCV in L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia in Parkinson's disease Isabel Espadas, Ettel Keifman, Cristina Palomo-Garo Sonia Burgaz, Concepción García, Javier Fernández-Ruiz, Rosario Moratalla Neurobiology of Disease, 2020, 141, 104892 doi : 10.1016/j.nbd.2020.104892 A B S T R A C T The antioxidant and CB2 receptor agonist properties of Δ9-tetrahydrocannabivarin (Δ9-THCV) afforded neuroprotection in experimental Parkinson's disease (PD), whereas its CB1 receptor antagonist profile at doses lower than 5 mg/kg caused anti-hypokinetic effects. In the present study, we investigated the anti dyskinetic potential of Δ9-THCV (administered i.p. at 2 mg/kg for two weeks), which had not been investigated before. This objective was investigated [...]

Lire la suite6 variétés de cannabis pleines de THCV Aurélien BERNARD Newsweed.fr, 30 janvier 2020 https://www.newsweed.fr/5-varietes-cannabis-thcv/ À mesure que les connaissances scientifiques sur le cannabis se développent, la composition chimique du cannabis et la manière dont il interagit avec le corps se dévoilent. Et si le CBD ou le THC sont largement étudiés, certains cannabinoïdes plus rares comme le THCV (tetrahydocannabivarine) intéressent de plus en plus les scientifiques. Au cours de la dernière décennie, des études sur des humains et des animaux ont identifié le potentiel du THCV pour réduire l’appétit chez les personnes qui luttent pour perdre du poids, réguler la glycémie chez les personnes atteintes [...]

ISERSON Cambridge Quarterly of Healthcare Ethics, 2019, 28, 168–177. © Cambridge University Press 2018. doi : 10.1017/S0963180118000518 Abstract : The available treatments for disorders affecting large segments of the population are often costly, complex, and only marginally effective, and many have numerous side effects. These disorders include dementias, debilitating neurological disorders, the multiple types of drug addiction, and the spectrum of mental health disorders. Preliminary studies have shown that a variety of psychedelic and similar U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration Schedule I drugs may offer better treatment options than those that currently exist and pose potentially [...]

"Nous avons de bonnes raisons de le penser mais nous avons besoin de données robustes pour le démontrer", sourit le Pr Olivier Blin, chef du service de pharmacologie clinique de la Timone, à Marseille. Grâce au soutien du centre d’excellence Dhune et de l’association France-Parkinson, son équipe, avec le service de neurologie et de pathologie du mouvement, le CNRS et l’Institut de neurosciences du CHU s’apprêtent à tester la prise de [...]

Abstract : Background : Several studies support the evidence that the endocannabinoid system and cannabimimetic drugs might have therapeutic potential in numerous pathologies. These pathologies range from neurological disorders, atherosclerosis, stroke, cancer to obesity/metabolic syndrome and others. Methods : In this paper we review the endocannabinoid system signaling and its alteration in neurodegenerative disorders like multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and Huntington’s disease and discuss the main findings about the use [...]

Lire la suiteCannabinoids in Parkinson's Disease Mario Stampanoni Bassi, Andrea Sancesario, Roberta Morace, Diego Centonze, and Ennio Iezzi Cannabis and Cannabinoid Research, 2017, Volume 2.1 DOI: 10.1089/can.2017.0002 Abstract The endocannabinoid system plays a regulatory role in a number of physiological processes and has been found altered in different pathological conditions, including movement disorders. The interactions between cannabinoids and dopamine in the basal ganglia are remarkably complex and involve both the modulation of other neurotransmitters (c-aminobutyric acid, glutamate, opioids, peptides) and the activation of different receptors subtypes (cannabinoid receptor type 1 and 2). In the last years, experimental studies contributed to enrich this scenario reporting interactions between cannabinoids [...]
