Cannabidiol protects an in vitro model of the blood brain barrier (BBB) from oxygen-glucose deprivation via PPAR? and 5-HT1A (2015)
Journal Article
Hind, W. H., England, T. J., & O'Sullivan, S. E. (2016). Cannabidiol protects an in vitro model of the blood brain barrier (BBB) from oxygen-glucose deprivation via PPAR? and 5-HT1A. British Journal of Pharmacology, 173(5), 815-825. doi:10.1111/bph.13368

Background and Purpose: In vivo and in vitro studies have demonstrated a protective effect of cannabidiol (CBD) in reducing infarct size in stroke models and against epithelial barrier damage in numerous disease models. We aimed to investigate whethe... Read More about Cannabidiol protects an in vitro model of the blood brain barrier (BBB) from oxygen-glucose deprivation via PPAR? and 5-HT1A.

Endocannabinoids modulate human blood-brain barrier permeability in vitro (2015)
Journal Article
Hind, W. H., Tufarelli, C., Neophytou, M., Anderson, S. I., England, T. J., & O'Sullivan, S. (2015). Endocannabinoids modulate human blood-brain barrier permeability in vitro. British Journal of Pharmacology, 172(12), 3015-3027. https://doi.org/10.1111/bph.13106

Background and Purpose Endocannabinoids alter permeability at various epithelial barriers, and cannabinoid receptors and endocannabinoid levels are elevated by stroke, with potential neuroprotective effects. We therefore explored the role of endoc... Read More about Endocannabinoids modulate human blood-brain barrier permeability in vitro.
