Newest firstBackground This study investigated the effects of cannabidiol (CBD) on early-stage inflammation, a key factor in the progression of liver diseases from metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) and irreversible cirrhosis. The study focused on CBD's influence on the pro-inflammatory n-6 and anti-inflammatory n-3 pathways, on arachidon…
Open article record in new tab ↗Cannabis and cannabinoid mixtures have been linked to a variety of health benefits including pain mitigation, suppression of nausea produced by chemotherapeutic agents, anti-inflammatory effects, and effects on energy homeostasis, glucose, and lipid metabolism. The latter properties have led to the suggestion that these products could have therapeutic effects on the development of metabolic dysfunction-associated…
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common cause of chronic liver disease; however, no specific pharmacological therapy has yet been approved for this condition. Plant-derived extracts can be an important source for the development of new drugs. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of (E)-β-caryophyllene (BCP), a phytocannabinoid recently found to be beneficial against metabolic d…
Background It has been studied that fluctuating glucose levels may superimpose glycated hemoglobin in determining the risk for diabetes mellitus (DM) complications. While non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) remains a predominant cause of elevated transaminases in Type 2 DM due to a strong underplay of metabolic syndrome, Type 1 DM can contrastingly affect the liver in a direct, benign, and reversible manner, caus…
Open article record in new tab ↗(E)-β-caryophyllene (BCP) is a bicyclic sesquiterpene widely distributed in the plant kingdom, where it contributes a unique aroma to essential oils and has a pivotal role in the survival and evolution of higher plants. Recent studies provided evidence for protective roles of BCP in animal cells, highlighting its possible use as a novel therapeutic tool. Experimental results show the ability of BCP to reduce pro-i…
