“This study aimed to determine whether cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1) is involved in mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling and skeletal muscle protein synthesis…
Our results indicate that RE down-regulates CB1 expression. Inhibition of CB1 signaling increases skeletal muscle anabolic signaling down-stream of mTOR and protein synthesis through ERK1/2.
Our study may provide base for the development of CB1-blocking drugs to treat or prevent muscle wasting.”
“Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can develop following exposure to a traumatic event. Hence, what we do in the first few hours after trauma exposure may alter the trajectory of PTSD. We examined whether cannabinoids can prevent the effects of a single footshock followed by situational reminders (SRs) on emotional processing…
Cannabinoids Prevent the Effects of a Footshock Followed by Situational Reminders on Emotional Processing.”
“Instead of throwing sick people in jail for medicating with cannabis we need to study its benefits.”
