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 کاملΔ9-tetrahydrocannabinol treatment improved endothelium-dependent relaxation on streptozotocin/nicotinamide-induced diabetic rat aorta.
OBJECTIVE In this study, we investigated the possible effect of Δ(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) agonist, on metabolic control and vascular complications of diabetes in streptozotocin/nicotinamide (STZ/NIC) induced type 2 diabetes mellitus. MATERIAL AND METHODS Type 2 diabetes was induced with 65 mg/kg STZ, 15 minute later 85 mg/kg NI...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinol Amino Acid-Dicarboxylate Prodrug With Improved Ocular Bioavailability
Purpose The aim of the present study was to evaluate the utility of the relatively hydrophilic Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) prodrugs, mono and di-valine esters (THC-Val and THC-Val-Val) and the amino acid (valine)-dicarboxylic acid (hemisuccinate) ester (THC-Val-HS), with respect to ocular penetration and intraocular pressure (IOP) lowering activity. THC, timolol, and pilocarpine eye drops wer...
متن کاملVanadyl sulfate prevents fructose-induced hyperinsulinemia and hypertension in rats.
To determine whether insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia are causally related to fructose-induced hypertension, we used vanadyl sulfate, a drug that improves insulin sensitivity in rats. Chronic oral vanadyl treatment was initiated in 6-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats. One week after vanadyl was started, rats were fed either normal rat chow or a fructose-enriched diet. Plasma glucose and ...
متن کاملCloud point extraction of Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol from cannabis resin.
A cloud point extraction coupled with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC/UV) method was developed for the determination of Δ(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in micellar phase. The nonionic surfactant "Dowfax 20B102" was used to extract and pre-concentrate THC from cannabis resin, prior to its determination with a HPLC-UV system (diode array detector) with isocratic elution. The paramete...
