Cannabinoid receptor

Cannabinoids are chemical compounds that repress neurotransmitters in the brain. Repressing the neurotransmitters in the brain the body responds in a different type of way. The compounds attach to the different neurotransmitters and make your body block out different feelings such as pain. These cannabinoid chemicals are the most important part of the plant in a medical purpose. An scientific journal from leaf science said, Cannabinoids work by interacting with specific receptors. These…

IS THIS CANNABINOID SO IMPORTANT? CBD, the acronym for the miracle compound cannadidiol, has long been in the shade of its psychoactive family member, the cannabinoid THC. Recently, both scientists and consumers have begun to recognize the myriad benefits of CBD for our physical and mental health. Below we have compiled 10 advantages of CBD that could surprise you with the therapeutic power of this essential compound. 1. CBD MITIGATES THC The CBD is considered a non-psychoactive cannabinoid,…

others can. The two substances of cannabinoids are known as THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol).…

MS patients to compensate using other muscles. MS impacts the entire body through the nerves and brain and muscle spasms, which can cause great pain in some sufferers, are common symptoms of the condition. A 2014 report focused on the effects of cannabinoids in treating chronic pain revealed that short-term administration of CBD oil could reduce the degree of spasticity that a MS person experiences. In one study, the results demonstrated that MS sufferers experienced improvements in pain and…

be thoughtfully designed to receive the benefits of the cannabis plant. Cannabinoids, the active compounds in the cannabis plant are known to relieve pain, heal illness, kill cancer cells, just to name a few benefits. The human endocannabinoid system, the system of receptors that bind with and process cannabinoids introduced into the body, is complex. Only in the early 90s did researchers discover the cannabinoid receptors in the brain and the research since then has not been robust. Until now.…

In recent debates to deliberate on the matters about the legalization concerning marijuana for medical consumption is causing friction amongst the medical, science, and legal worlds. Marijuana was outlawed during the times of the Great Depression in 1931. Despite the malicious propaganda against marijuana, scientists have proven that the chemical, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), has medicinal healing properties to help alleviate symptoms of certain illnesses. The use of marijuana would also have a…

epilepsies (Jones NA, Glyn SE, Akiyama S, et al). Cannabinoids have two receptors that are activated by different compounds and are involved in countless neurotransmitter releases. CBD receptor 1 wield useful performances in the treatments of epilepsy seizures. It is suggested that these cannabinoid receptors in the brain and body play a huge role in physiological functions. Studies have shown that physiological signaling from cannabinoid receptors range from reducing and regulating pain…

properties, and cannabidiol (CBD) are the most extensively studied; they were able to pinpoint areas in the brain where it acts and make out how this occurs. This system is known as the endocannabinoid system. It a system with receptors of different signalling mechanisms; cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1) which is distributed throughout the central and peripheral nervous systems and organs, as…

Abstract Objectives: The anticonvulsant effect of cannabinoid compound illustrated in various models of seizure and epilepsy. On the other hand, there are controversial findings about the role of large conductance calcium-activated potassium (BK) channels in the pathogenesis of epilepsy. Also, there is no data regarding the effect of co-administration of cannabinoid type 1 (CB1) receptor agonists and BK channels antagonists in the acute models of seizure in mice. In this study, the effects of…

Opioids are narcotic agonists that bind to opioid receptors in the central nervous system (CNS), blocking pain and producing a sense of well being (Karch, 2013). In the healthcare setting, opioids are often prescribed following surgery or injury, as part of a treatment regimen for cancer, or in palliative…
