Cannabinoids and capsaicin improve liver function following thioacetamide-induced acute injury in mice.

“We have shown the beneficial effects of cannabinoids in a murine model of hepatic encephalopathy following thioacetamide and now report their effects on the liver injury…

The similar pattern found between the effect of cannabinoids and their antagonists on brain and liver indicated that the therapeutic effect might be directed by the improvement in both organs through CB2 receptors and/or TRPV1 receptors.

Modulation of these systems may have therapeutic potential.”
