Natural compounds in gut microbiome show promise for inflammation treatment

Researchers at the University of Toronto have found naturally occurring compounds in the gut that can be harnessed to reduce inflammation and other symptoms of digestive issues. This can be achieved by binding the compounds to an important, but poorly understood, nuclear receptor. The gut microbiome hosts bacteria that produce compounds as by-products of feeding on our […]

THC-O-acetate’s psychedelic effects may be greatly exaggerated

The cannabis plant is complex, with about 100 cannabinoids, or compounds, many of which science still knows little or nothing about. The two most prevalent active ingredients -; tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) -; have been well-studied. However, a variety of other cannabinoids are being introduced to the marketplace at a fast clip. Among the […]
