Cannabidiol may prevent the development of congestive hepatopathy secondary to right ventricular hypertrophy associated with pulmonary hypertension in rats
CONCLUSIONS: The studies show that CBD can protect the liver from CH probably through attenuating PH, protective effects on the RV, and possibly direct anti-inflammatory effects on liver tissue through regulation of the NF-κB pathway.PMID:38519732 | DOI:10.1007/s43440-024-00579-4 (Source: Pharmacological Reports)

The effect of valproate on the amino acids, monoamines, and kynurenic acid concentrations in brain structures involved in epileptogenesis in the pentylenetetrazol-kindled rats
CONCLUSIONS: Our results indicate that a single administration of VPA in the PTZ-kindled rats restored proper balance between excitatory (decreasing the level of ASP) and inhibitory neurotransmission (increased concentration GABA, KYNA) and affecting serotoninergic neurotransmission in the prefrontal cortex, hippocampus, amygdala, and striatum.PMID:38519733 | DOI:10.1007/s43440-024-00573-w (Source: Pharmacological Reports)

Migraine and the microbiota. Can probiotics be beneficial in its prevention? - a narrative review
Pharmacol Rep. 2024 Mar 19. doi: 10.1007/s43440-024-00584-7. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMigraine is a recurrent disease of the central nervous system that affects an increasing number of people worldwide causing a continuous increase in the costs of treatment. The mechanisms underlying migraine are still unclear but recent reports show that people with migraine may have an altered composition of the intestinal microbiota. It is well established that the gut-brain axis is involved in many neurological diseases, and probiotic supplementation may be an interesting treatment option for these conditions.

Protective effect of hygrolansamycin C against corticosterone-induced toxicity and oxidative stress-mediated via autophagy and the MAPK signaling pathway
CONCLUSIONS: HYGC is a promising candidate to counteract corticosterone-induced apoptosis and oxidative stress. Autophagy and MAPK pathway inhibition contribute to the protective effects of HYGC. Our findings highlight the potential of HYGC as a therapeutic agent for stress-related disorders and serve as a stepping stone for further exploration and development of stress management strategies.PMID:38498259 | DOI:10.1007/s43440-024-00572-x (Source: Pharmacological Reports)

Effect of polyphenols against complications of COVID-19: current evidence and potential efficacy
Pharmacol Rep. 2024 Mar 18. doi: 10.1007/s43440-024-00585-6. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe COVID-19 pandemic that started in 2019 and resulted in significant morbidity and mortality continues to be a significant global health challenge, characterized by inflammation, oxidative stress, and immune system dysfunction.. Developing therapies for preventing or treating COVID-19 remains an important goal for pharmacology and drug development research. Polyphenols are effective against various viral infections and can be extracted and isolated from plants without losing their therapeutic potential. Researchers have developed m...

Are there sex differences in oxytocin and vasopressin V1a receptors ligand binding affinities?
CONCLUSION: These data suggest that sex differences in binding affinity are not a likely source of the many sex differences that have been observed in the effects of OT and AVP in hamsters and other species.PMID:38480666 | DOI:10.1007/s43440-024-00577-6 (Source: Pharmacological Reports)
