CBD and CBG Reprogram Liver Energy to Reverse Fatty Liver in Mice

Israeli researchers found that non-psychoactive cannabis compounds CBD and CBG can reverse liver damage in obese mice with MASLD by reprogramming liver energy use, boosting phosphocreatine reserves and lysosomal activity, and improving insulin resistance and lipid profiles. The treated mice showed reduced fat accumulation and inflammation without dietary changes, suggesting a new metabolic pathway to target in MASLD. However, these results are preclinical, and human relevance requires careful dosing considerations and clinical trials, as consumer CBD/CBG products vary in purity and concentration.

CBD and CBG Reprogram Liver Energy to Reverse Fatty Liver in Mice

In obese mice fed a high-fat diet, CBD and CBG improved liver function, reduced hepatic fat, lowered blood lipids, and enhanced insulin sensitivity, with CBG generally more effective. The benefits appear to arise from reprogramming hepatic energy and lysosomal pathways rather than activating classic cannabinoid receptors, and were achieved via abdominal injections. While promising for MASLD, human relevance remains to be tested and CBD product quality is variable.

CBD and CBG Could Cut Fatty Liver Risk and Cholesterol, Study Says

New research shows non-psychoactive cannabis compounds CBD and CBG can significantly reduce liver fat and cholesterol, improve liver energy metabolism, and restore cellular cleanup (lysosomal) function, offering a plant-based approach to MASLD, the world’s most common chronic liver disease. The study also found both compounds normalize blood sugar, with CBG showing stronger effects on fat reduction and insulin sensitivity; further research is needed to translate these findings into treatments.

CBG: Emerging Cannabis Compound Shows Promise in Cancer and Pain Treatment

A new review highlights the therapeutic potential of cannabigerol (CBG), a lesser-known cannabinoid, in treating various conditions such as cancer, pain, and inflammatory disorders. The study, published in the journal Molecules, suggests CBG's unique molecular mechanisms and interactions with cannabinoid and other receptors could offer diverse therapeutic applications, including neuroprotection and antibacterial effects. While promising, further research, including human trials, is needed to fully understand CBG's potential and its synergy with other cannabinoids.

"African Herb: The Next Frontier in Medical Cannabis?"

The woolly umbrella, a South African flowering plant that smells like curry, has been found to produce over 40 cannabinoids, including CBG, a cannabinoid that has shown promise as a treatment for neurological disorders, colon cancer, and various other medical conditions. Unlike cannabis, the woolly umbrella doesn't produce THC or CBD, making it a commercially viable plant source for bioactive cannabinoids. Researchers have developed tools for sustained production of these compounds, which could help explore their enormous therapeutic potential.
