Do cannabinol and cannabidiol exert opposing effects on rat feeding patterns?
This is the first time cannabinol has been shown to increase feeding. Therefore, cannabinol could, in the future, provide an alternative to the currently used and psychotropic ∆(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol-based medicines since cannabinol is currently considered to be non-psychotropic. Furthermore, cannabidiol reduced food intake in line with some existing reports, supporting the need for further mechanistic and behavioral work examining possible anti-obesity effects of cannabidiol.
These results indicate that plasma FXI plays a potent role in thrombus growth on the injured neointima. Inhibition of plasma FXI activity might help to reduce thrombus growth on ruptured plaques without prolonging bleeding time.
