Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinol Prevents Methamphetamine-Induced Neurotoxicity
Methamphetamine (METH) is a potent psychostimulant with neurotoxic properties. Heavy use increases the activation of neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS), production of peroxynitrites, microglia stimulation, and induces hyperthermia and anorectic effects. Most METH recreational users also consume cannabis. Preclinical studies have shown that natural (Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol, Δ9-THC) and synthe...
متن کاملEstimating the time of last cannabis use from plasma delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol and 11-nor-9-carboxy-delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol concentrations.
BACKGROUND Knowing the time cannabis was last used is important for determining impairment in accident investigations and clinical evaluations. Two models for predicting time of last cannabis use from single plasma cannabinoid concentrations-model I, using Delta(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), and model II, using the concentration ratio of 11-nor-9-carboxy-THC (THCCOOH) to THC-were developed and...
متن کاملSynaptic targets of Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol in the central nervous system.
The availability of potent synthetic agonists for cannabinoid receptors has facilitated our understanding of cannabinoid actions on synaptic transmission in the central nervous system. Moreover, the ability of these compounds to inhibit neurotransmitter release at many central synapses is thought to underlie most of the behavioral effects of cannabinoid agonists. However, despite the widespread...
متن کاملEvaluation of Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol metabolites and oxidative stress in type 2 diabetic rats
Objective(s): The object of the study is to examine the effects of Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) against oxidative stress in the blood and excretion of THC metabolites in urine of type 2 diabetic rats. Materials and Methods: The control (n=8), THC control (n=6), diabetes (n=8) and diabetes + THC (n=7) groups were created. Type 2 diabetes was induced by nicotinamide (NA, 85 mg/kg) + streptozotoc...
متن کاملHigh-throughput toxicological analysis of Δ9-THC and 11-nor-9-carboxy-Δ9-THC by LC/MS/MS
A new high-throughput liquid chromatography / tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for the quantification of Δ-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in suspect plant material and of its principal metabolite, 11-nor-9carboxy-Δ-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC-COOH), in human urine was developed and validated. The separation was performed on a Zorbax SB-C18 column under isocratic conditions using a mixture o...
