Neuroprotective and blood-retinal barrier-preserving effects of cannabidiol in experimental diabetes.

اثر محافظتی دوزهای مختلف کانابیدیول بر میزان نفوذپذیری سد خونی– مغزی و آسیب‌های حاصل از مدل ایسکمی مغزی در موش صحرایی

Background and Objective: Stroke is a neurological disease with a rapid increase in incidence across developing world. Cannabidiol is a non- psychoactive constituent of cannabis which has attracted the attention of investigators in basic and therapeutic research. The most significant property of cannabidiol is its strong neuroprotective effect manifested in animal model of epilepsy, Alzheimer, ...

Cannabidiol attenuates high glucose-induced endothelial cell inflammatory response and barrier disruption.

A nonpsychoactive cannabinoid cannabidiol (CBD) has been shown to exert potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects and has recently been reported to lower the incidence of diabetes in nonobese diabetic mice and to preserve the blood-retinal barrier in experimental diabetes. In this study we have investigated the effects of CBD on high glucose (HG)-induced, mitochondrial superoxide generat...

Neuroprotective Effects of Allicin on Neurological Scores, Blood Brain Barrier Permeability and Brain Edema Following Severe Traumatic Brain Injury in Male Rats: A Behavioral, Biochemical and Histological Study

 Background and purpose: Allicin has a wide range of pharmacological functions, all of which can be demonstrated in anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antifungal and anti-tumor activities. In this research, we investigated the neuroprotective role of allicin in the process of diffuse traumatic brain injury and its effect on interleukin levels and histological changes in rats. Materials and method...

Cannabidiol prevents cerebral infarction via a serotonergic 5-hydroxytryptamine1A receptor-dependent mechanism.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Cannabidiol has been reported to be a neuroprotectant, but the neuroprotective mechanism of cannabidiol remains unclear. We studied the neuroprotective mechanism of cannabidiol in 4-hour middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion mice. METHODS Male MCA occluded mice were treated with cannabidiol, abnormal cannabidiol, anandamide, methanandamide, cannabidiol plus capsazepine...
