1. Cannabinoids as neuroprotective agents : a mechanistic study
Sammanfattning : Glucose and oxygen supply to the brain is critical for its proper function and when it is restricted as during a stroke, neurons and glial cells quickly become necrotic leading to structural damage as well as functional impairment and even death. To date there are few effective therapies that inhibit the neurodegenerative process and improves the outcome for the affected individual. LÄS MER
2. Pharmacology of Palmitoylethanolamide and Related Compounds
