Cannabinoid Improves Locomotor Function, Reduces Injury In Animal Model Of Spinal Cord Injury: "Thursday, 17 November 2011
Sao Paulo, Brazil: The administration of the non-psychotropic cannabis plant constituent cannabidiol (CBD) improves mobility in rats with spinal cord injuries, according to preclinical data published in the journal Neurotoxicity Research.
Investigators at the University of Sao Paulo in Brazil assessed the impact of CBD on motor function in rats with cryogenically induced spinal cord injury. The animals received injections of a placebo or CBD immediately before, three hours after and daily for sixdays after surgery.
Researchers reported that cannabidiol-treated rats exhibited higher locomotor skills at the end of one week."
