REMOVES PROTEIN ASSOCIATED WITH ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE.
A study from the Salk Institute (California, US) has found cannabinoids can remove the plaque-forming protein associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD), amyloid beta. Preliminary lab studies by researchers found Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) reduces beta amyloid proteins in human neurons. Nerve cells altered to produce amyloid beta demonstrated lower levels of the protein when exposed to THC. The inflammatory response from the nerve cells caused by the protein was also eliminated, allowing the nerve cells to survive. The scientists believe this is the first time it has ever been demonstrated.
