Adding menthol flavoring to electronic cigarettes may damage your lungs more than regular e-cigarettes do, a new study reveals. A number of studies have suggested that e-cigarette vapor can cause lung inflammation, oxidative stress, DNA damage and airway hyper-responsiveness that can trigger asthma, Benam said. Vaping these substances can cause lung damage that impairs lung

AbstractBackground: The mechanisms underlying the clinical effects of CBD remain poorly understood. Given the increasing evidence for CBD’s effects on mitochondria, we sought to examine in more detail whether CBD impacts mitochondrial function and neuronal integrity. Results: At low micromolar concentrations, CBD reduced mitochondrial respiration, the threshold for mitochondrial permeability transition, and calcium uptake, blocked a novel

Potential birth defects, cancer and addiction – just name a few!Cannabinoids Exacerbate Alcohol Teratogenesis by a CB1-Hedgehog InteractionDOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-52336-w Abstract: We tested whether cannabinoids (CBs) potentiate alcohol-induced birth defects in mice and zebrafish, and explored the underlying pathogenic mechanisms on Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) signalling. The CBs, Ä9-THC, cannabidiol, HU-210, and CP 55,940 caused alcohol-like effects on craniofacial

AbstractThe industrial hemp sector is growing and, in recent years, has launched many novel hemp-derived products, including animal feed.
