“Cannabidiol (CBD) demonstrated short-term neuroprotective effects in the immature brain following hypoxia-ischemia (HI).
We examined whether CBD neuroprotection is sustained over a prolonged period.
In conclusion, CBD administration after HI injury to newborn rats led to long-lasting neuroprotection, with the overall effect of promoting greater functional rather than histological recovery.
These effects of CBD were not associated with any side effects.
These results emphasize the interest in CBD as a neuroprotective agent for neonatal HI.”
