Effect of Broad-Spectrum Hemp Extract on Neurobehavioral Activity on the Immobilization Stress-Induced Model in Sprague Dawley Rats
BACKGROUND: Broad-spectrum hemp extract is expected to be a promising new intervention for managing stress and anxiety. Research has shown that the cannabinoids found in Cannabis sativa, such as cannabidiol (CBD), tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), and cannabigerol (CBG), possess anxiolytic properties that...

description | BACKGROUND: Broad-spectrum hemp extract is expected to be a promising new intervention for managing stress and anxiety. Research has shown that the cannabinoids found in Cannabis sativa, such as cannabidiol (CBD), tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), and cannabigerol (CBG), possess anxiolytic properties that can positively impact mood and stress. METHODS: In the current study, a broad-spectrum, nondetectable THC hemp extract with other minor cannabinoids (broad-spectrum hemp extract) was administered at 28 mg/kg·bw to evaluate its anxiolytic properties. This was performed using various behavioural models and biomarkers for oxidative stress. In addition, a 300 mg/kg·bw of Ashwagandha root extract was also incorporated to compare its effects on relieving stress and anxiety. RESULTS: The decreased levels of lipid peroxidation were measured in broad-spectrum hemp extract (36 nmol/ml), Ashwagandha (37 nmol/ml), and induction control (49 nmol/ml) treated groups of animals. The levels of 2-AG decreased in the broad-spectrum hemp extract (1.5 ng/ml), Ashwagandha (1.2 ng/ml), and induction control (2.3 ng/ml) treated groups of animals. The levels of FAAH decreased in broad-spectrum hemp extract (1.6 ng/ml), Ashwagandha (1.7 ng/ml), and induction control (1.9 ng/ml) treated groups of animals. The levels of catalase increased in broad-spectrum hemp extract (35 ng/ml), Ashwagandha (37 ng/ml), and induction control (17 ng/ml) treated groups of animals. Similarly, increased levels of glutathione were found in broad-spectrum hemp extract (30 ng/ml), Ashwagandha (27 ng/ml), and induction control (16 ng/ml) treated groups of animals. CONCLUSION: Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that broad-spectrum hemp extract inhibited the biomarkers for oxidative stress. Also, certain behavioural parameters showed improvements with respect to both the ingredient administered groups. |
