The National Cancer Institute studied the mechanism of the effect of cannabinoids
Cannabinoids prevent the process of tumor growth, preventing the development and division of cancer cells being able to call them dying, and preventing the development of blood vessels that feed cancer cells.
US National Institute for Research on Cancer, which is an organization sponsored by the budget of the federal government, has recently unveiled its researchers obtained information about the study of the influence of medical cannabis on cancer tumors, which confirms that cannabinoids do have the ability to destroy cancer cells.
Limiting development of tumors
Cannabinoids prevent the process of tumor growth, preventing the development and division of cancer cells being able to call them dying, and preventing the development of blood vessels that feed cancer cells. This information confirms the results of laboratory studies on animals have shown that cannabinoids protect healthy cells near the tumor, while at the same time destroying the malignant cells.
Cannabinoids also prevent inflammation of the bowel, potentially reducing the risk of cancer and there.
During the study of the interaction between the compound delta-9-THC and cancer cells of the liver, carried out on mice, it was found that cannabinoids are also effective in preventing the development of these types of tumors. In this same study, the scientists were able to establish that the same compound has a preventive effect on the development of tumors in the liver. It was found that in this way, the compound delta-9-THC interacts at the molecular level, and the cancer cells developing in the lungs and chest.
In laboratory studies of the effect of CBD on estrogen positive and estrogen-negative cancer cells in the breast, it was found that the connection is successfully destroys both types of malignant cells without harming healthy breast tissue. It is also found out in the course of the experiment in mice that cannabinoids could also reduce the growth and development of breast cancer, is in metastasis.
Another series of studies in which studied the effect of CBD on glioma cells of the human brain, it was found that the compound greatly increases the effectiveness of chemical therapy of cancer, helping to eliminate cancer cells while protecting healthy cells from destruction of the brain. These data confirm the experiment on cells adjacent to the experimental mice, demonstrating that the CBD and the delta-9-THC therapy do with chemicals, such as temozolomide more effective.
Stimulation of appetite:
Several other studies conducted in several animal species, showed that the delta-9-THC and other cannabinoid compounds have the ability to stimulate appetite.
Analgesic effect:
Currently, scientists Institute are studying cannabinoid receptor organism (molecular our body, which interact with cannabinoid compounds obtained by the body) present in the brain, spine and nervous system, among other parts of the human body in order to determine the mechanisms by which receptors cause analgesic effect.
In addition, scientists have known that these receptors are also able to activate the body's inflammatory response.
