In 2014, Small animal PET imaging of the type 1 cannabinoid receptor in a rodent model for anorexia nervosa BACKGROUND: Using [18F]MK-9470 and small animal positron emission tomography (PET), we investigated for the first time cerebral changes in type 1 cannabinoid (CB1) receptor binding in vivo in the activity-based rat model of anorexia (ABA), in comparison …
In 2016, Can Anorexia Be Treated Successfully With Cannabis? BACKGROUND: It’s unclear whether or not changes in endocannabinoid processing contribute to anorexia, or occur because of the disorder. Regardless, these are positive signs that cannabis medicines may help the condition. You can read the full article here => https://herb.co/2016/07/31/anorexia/
In 2012, The Connection Between Anorexia, Bulimia, and Marijuana BACKGROUND: An obsessive interest in food coupled with an inappropriate emotional response is consistent with a dysfunction in the brain’s endocannabinoid system. This new information might help identify new targets for medications that may help reverse the symptoms of anorexia and bulimia. You can read the full …
Can Medical Cannabis Be Used as an Anorexia Treatment? BACKGROUND: Nonetheless, given the research we have accumulated, anecdotal evidence, and the fact the endocannabinoid system — the body’s own cannabinoid system — exerts such a powerful influence on appetite, cannabis as an anorexia treatment is highly plausible.

In 2016, data showed that there is a complex and likely autocatalytic inflammatory response within nerve cells and that this early form of proteotoxicity can be blocked by the activation of cannabinoid receptors. Background: used a proteotoxicity model based upon the inducible expression of Aβ in a human central nervous system nerve cell line to characterize a …
In 2016, Amyloid proteotoxicity initiates an inflammatory response blocked by cannabinoids BACKGROUND: We hypothesized that proteotoxicity in nerve cells themselves may initiate an inflammatory response that can lead directly to their death and contribute to overall inflammation in the CNS. The following experiments identify the molecular basis of this inflammatory response using a human CNS nerve cell …
