In vitro evaluation of cell viability and expression profile of growth factors in mouse Sertoli cells exposed to Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol: a mechanistic insight into the cannabinoid-induced testicular toxicity
BMC Pharmacol Toxicol. 2023 Nov 9;24(1):61. doi: 10.1186/s40360-023-00704-8.ABSTRACTThe potentially adverse effects of cannabis (marijuana), a common leisure compound, on male reproductive performance are a reason for concern. δ-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the primary active component of marijuana alters testicular cells' proliferation and function which affects male fertility and causes testicular cells dysfunction and apoptosis. The main objective of this study was to investigate the possible mechanism underlying the toxic effects of THC with a mechanistic insight into Sertoli cell-based reproductive dysfunction. The ...

Sericin alleviates motor dysfunction by modulating inflammation and TrkB/BDNF signaling pathway in the rotenone-induced Parkinson's disease model
CONCLUSION: These results support a protective benefit of sericin therapy in a rotenone-induced PD paradigm by reducing motor impairment, inflammatory response, and disruption of the TrkB/BDNF signaling pathway.PMID:37936189 | PMC:PMC10631121 | DOI:10.1186/s40360-023-00703-9 (Source: BMC Pharmacology and Toxicology)

GHB toxicokinetics and renal monocarboxylate transporter expression are influenced by the estrus cycle in rats
CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that females may be less susceptible to GHB-induced toxicity due to decreased exposure resulting from increased renal clearance, as a result of decreased renal MCT1 expression.PMID:37919807 | PMC:PMC10623699 | DOI:10.1186/s40360-023-00700-y (Source: BMC Pharmacology and Toxicology)
