BACKGROUND MDMB-CHMICA is a synthetic cannabinoid receptor agonist which has caused concern due to its presence in cases of adverse reaction and death. METHODS 43 cases of suspected synthetic cannabinoid ingestion were identified from patients presenting at an Emergency Department and from

Adverse effects occurred in four youths after intravenous injection of an aqueous cannabis-seed tea, which was prepared by boiling the seeds. The effects were immediate and included nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, watery diarrhea, chills, fever, hypovolemic shock, hypotension, and non-oligemic

Endocannabinoid system is involved in food intake and energy balance. Beside the hypothalamus, pancreatic islet also expresses CB1 cannabinoid receptor, however little is known about its physiological role and regulation. Since gene expression of many specific proteins of the islet depends on the

Objective: To investigate the action and antioxidant effects of CB2 agonist AM-1241 on rat hepatic stellate cell line (HSC-T6). Methods: HSC-T6 was randomly divided into four groups: control group, oxidative stress group, AM-1241 intervention group and AM-1241+AM-630 antagonist group. Survival rate
