$CWBHF Activating cannabinoid receptor type 2 (CB2) significantly reduced liver damage, inflammation and iron accumulation in mice with iron overload, according to a new study.
The research, published in Molecular Biomedicine by researchers from Qingdao University, examined whether targeting CB2 could protect the liver from damage caused by excessive iron accumulation. Iron overload can occur with conditions including hereditary hemochromatosis, transfusional siderosis and chronic liver disease, and can cause progressive liver damage. marijuanaherald
