Chemical Composition, Protective Effects, and Mechanisms of Volatile Oil from Fructus Gleditsiae Abnormalis with Nasal Administration against Ischemic Injury in HFD and MCAO-Induced Rats
This study is aimed to analyze the constituents of the volatile oil in FGA (VOFGA) using gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and explore the underlying effects and mechanisms of VOFGA in the prevention and treatment of ischemia stroke. An in vivo ischemia model was constructed by combination treatment of high-fat diet (HFD) and middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) method. After administration, the cerebral infarction volume, the brain water content, hemorheology, blood lipids, inflammatory factors, oxidative stress indicators, Bax, Bcl-2, and cleaved caspase-3 and histological examination (HE) were...

The Endocannabinoid System and its Modulation by Cannabidiol (CBD).
Abstract The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is an extensive endogenous signaling system with multiple elements, the number of which may be increasing as scientists continue to elucidate its role in human health and disease. The ECS is seemingly ubiquitous in animal species and is modulated by diet, sleep, exercise, stress, and a multitude of other factors, including exposure to phytocannabinoids, like Cannabidiol (CBD). Modulating the activity of this system may offer tremendous therapeutic promise for a diverse scope of diseases, ranging from mental health disorders, neurological and movement disorders, pain, autoi...

More Research Is Needed on Lifestyle Behaviors That Influence Progression of Parkinson's Disease
This article highlights some of these challenges in the design of lifestyle studies in PD, and suggests a more coordinated international effort is required, including ongoing longitudinal observational studies. In combination with pharmaceutical treatments, healthy lifestyle behaviors may slow the progression of PD, empower patients, and reduce disease burden. For optimal care of people with PD, it is important to close this gap in current knowledge and discover whether such associations exist. Introduction Parkinson's disease (PD) is an age-related complex progressive neurodegenerative disorder, with key p...
