Neuroprotective and blood-retinal barrier-preserving effects of cannabidiol in experimental diabetes.

“Cannabinoids are known to possess therapeutic properties including inhibition of oxidation, NMDA receptor-activation, and inflammation.

The present study evaluates the ability of CBD to reduce oxidative stress, preserve BRB function, and prevent neural cell death in experimental diabetes…

These results demonstrate that CBD treatment reduces neurotoxicity, inflammation, and BRB breakdown in diabetic animals through activities that may involve inhibition of p38 MAP kinase.

The nonpsychotropic CBD is a promising candidate for anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective therapeutics.”
