Abstract
Objective: This study aims to investigate the impact of full-spectrum Cannabis sativa extract (FSC) treatment on gut and peripheral organ protection after ischemic stroke.
Main methods: Male Wistar rats were subjected to 60-min middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) or sham surgery, and received FSC (15 or 30 mg/kg) or coconut oil by gavage at different time points post-MCAO. After 72 h, neurological score, infarct volume, blood cell count, thymus, spleen and adrenal gland size and weight, serum corticosterone, intestinal permeability, oxidative stress, and inflammatory cytokines in peripheral organs were assessed.
Key findings: The results show a significant improvement in neurological deficits, suggesting the therapeutic potential of FSC in post-stroke recovery. Additionally, a reduction in body mass, a decrease in blood cells related to the immune response, and atrophy of lymphoid organs, lower corticosterone levels, and reduced intestinal permeability were observed. FSC treatment also demonstrated a crucial role in protecting against oxidative stress and post-stroke lung inflammation.
Significance: The discovery of the positive impacts of FSC in this study represents an entry point for new explorations and perspectives within this field. With latent potential, these findings have the power to shape clinical research, especially in the realm of neurodegenerative diseases and innovative therapies. Therefore, the results highlight the promising role of FSC, paving the way for more effective and transformative clinical interventions.
期刊介绍:
Inflammopharmacology is the official publication of the Gastrointestinal Section of the International Union of Basic and Clinical Pharmacology (IUPHAR) and the Hungarian Experimental and Clinical Pharmacology Society (HECPS). Inflammopharmacology publishes papers on all aspects of inflammation and its pharmacological control emphasizing comparisons of (a) different inflammatory states, and (b) the actions, therapeutic efficacy and safety of drugs employed in the treatment of inflammatory conditions. The comparative aspects of the types of inflammatory conditions include gastrointestinal disease (e.g. ulcerative colitis, Crohn''s disease), parasitic diseases, toxicological manifestations of the effects of drugs and environmental agents, arthritic conditions, and inflammatory effects of injury or aging on skeletal muscle. The journal has seven main interest areas:
-Drug-Disease Interactions - Conditional Pharmacology - i.e. where the condition (disease or stress state) influences the therapeutic response and side (adverse) effects from anti-inflammatory drugs. Mechanisms of drug-disease and drug disease interactions and the role of different stress states
-Rheumatology - particular emphasis on methods of measurement of clinical response effects of new agents, adverse effects from anti-rheumatic drugs
-Gastroenterology - with particular emphasis on animal and human models, mechanisms of mucosal inflammation and ulceration and effects of novel and established anti-ulcer, anti-inflammatory agents, or antiparasitic agents
-Neuro-Inflammation and Pain - model systems, pharmacology of new analgesic agents and mechanisms of neuro-inflammation and pain
-Novel drugs, natural products and nutraceuticals - and their effects on inflammatory processes, especially where there are indications of novel modes action compared with conventional drugs e.g. NSAIDs
-Muscle-immune interactions during inflammation [...]
