A selective cannabinoid CB2 agonist attenuates damage and improves memory retention following stroke in mice
Publication date: Available online 30 May 2015 Source:Life Sciences Author(s): Richard D. Ronca , Alyssa M. Myers , Doina Ganea , Ronald F. Tuma , Ellen A. Walker , Sara Jane Ward Aims We have recently demonstrated that treatment with a cannabinoid CB2 agonist was protective in a mouse middle cerebral artery occlusion model of cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury. The present study aimed to determine whether these protective effects of CB2 agonism would extend to a mouse photoinjury model of permanent ischemia and determine associated alterations in cognition and infarct size. Main Methods Mice received three injections...

Envisioning the neuroprotective effect of Metformin in experimental epilepsy: A portrait of molecular crosstalk
Publication date: 15 September 2019Source: Life Sciences, Volume 233Author(s): Nandini H S, Yam Nath Paudel, Krishna K LAbstractEpilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by an enduring predisposition to generate and aggravate epileptic seizures affecting around 1% of global population making it a serious health concern. Despite the recent advances in epilepsy research, no disease-modifying treatment able to terminate epileptogenesis have been reported yet reflecting the complexity in understanding the disease pathogenesis. To overcome the current treatment gap against epilepsy, one effective approach is to explore ...
