Cannabis sativa-based oils against aluminum-induced neurotoxicity.

Terpenoid compounds found in Cannabis sativa plants, specifically the delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD), have already shown central and peripheral activities in treating brain diseases like Alzheimer's and multiple sclerosis. In this study, we examined the effects of CBD- and THC-rich oils on aluminum (Al)-induced toxicity using the zebrafish model. We measured behavioral biomarkers and biochemical markers related to neurotoxicity. The results showed that the oils increased the activity of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, which helped the cholinergic nervous system combat Al toxicity. These findings suggest that CBD- and THC-based oils may protect against neurological and antioxidant impairment caused by Al intoxications, and could have potential in preventing related conditions.
