Newest firstAlthough random assignment is the standard for drawing causal inferences within clinical trials, it is generally precluded in legal market cannabis research given its federal classification as a schedule 1 drug. Unfortunately, this may cause selection bias and compromise internal validity, and thus, alternative approaches are necessary. One such approach in this context, as well as more broadly, is quasi-random as…
Open article record in new tab ↗This study evaluated the effects of dietary inclusion of cold- and hot-processed hempseed meal (HSM) on performance, egg quality, yolk fatty acid composition, and blood biochemical parameters in laying hens. A total of 150 Super Nick hens (37 weeks old) were allocated to three dietary treatments with five replicates of eight birds each for 16 weeks: control (0 % HSM), 15 % cold-processed HSM (60 °C), and 15 % hot-…
Open article record in new tab ↗Purpose This study aimed to investigate the hypothesis that cannabidiol (CBD), with known anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic effects, would reduce the severity of acute lung injury in pulmonary contusion following blunt chest trauma. Methods Forty male Wistar Albino rats were randomly divided into four groups, each consisting of 10 rats: Sham, Trauma, Trauma + CBD, and CBD. The rats were treated with a single do…
Leg disorders have become increasingly common in broilers, leading to lower meat quality and major economic losses. This study evaluated the effects of dietary supplementation with Clostridium butyricum (C. butyricum) and 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25-OH-D3) on bone development by comparing growth performance, tibial parameters, Ca and P contents of tibial ash, bone development-related indicators' level, and cecal shor…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) induced chronic kidney disease is mainly caused by chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH). Our study investigate the mechanism underlying CIH-induced renal damage and whether the cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1R) antagonist rimonabant (Ri) alleviates CIH-induced renal injury. Methods Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into five groups: one normal control (NC) group, tw…
Acute physical exercise improves memory functions by increasing neural plasticity in the hippocampus. In animals, a single session of physical exercise has been shown to boost anandamide (AEA), an endocannabinoid known to promote hippocampal plasticity. Hippocampal neuronal networks encode episodic memory representations, including the temporal organization of elements, and can thus benefit motor sequence learning…
Background Licorice is an herb extensively used for both culinary and medicinal purposes. Various constituents of licorice have been shown to exhibit anti-tumorigenic effect in diverse cancer types. However, majority of these studies focus on the aspect of their growth-suppressive role. In this study, we systematically analyzed known licorice's constituents on the goal of identifying component(s) that can effectiv…
Background The incidence of melanoma is considerably increasing worldwide. Frequent failing of classical treatments led to development of novel therapeutic strategies aiming at managing advanced forms of this skin cancer. Additionally, the implication of the endocannabinoid system in malignancy is actively investigated. Methods We investigated the cytotoxicity of endocannabinoids and their hydrolysis inhibitors on…
Background Cannabinoid 1 (CB1) receptor antagonists exhibit pharmacological properties favorable for the treatment of obesity and other related metabolic disorders. CE-178253 (1-[7-(2-Chlorophenyl)-8-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-methylpyrazolo[1,5-a]-[1,3,5]triazin-4-yl]-3-ethylaminoazetidine-3-carboxylic acid hydrochloride) is a recently discovered selective centrally-acting CB1 receptor antagonist. Despite a large body of…
