#AntiCancer Potential of #Cannabinoids, #Terpenes, and #Flavonoids Present in 🌱 #Cannabis

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7409346/

In #cancer, the #endocannabinoidsystem is altered in numerous types of #tumours and can relate to cancer prognosis and disease outcome. Additionally, cannabinoids display anticancer effects in several models by suppressing the proliferation, migration and/or invasion of cancer cells, as well as tumour angiogenesis.

📢 New paper out in The Journal of Physical Chemistry B with Dr. Adam Kowalczyk!

By combining DPPH/FRAP assays with quantum mechanical modeling, we investigated how structural modifications—aglycone, glycoside, or glucuronide—influence flavonoid antioxidant performance.

A cohort study of approximately 125,000 people found that both the quantity and diversity of dietary flavonoids were independently associated with lower incidence of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, respiratory disease, neurodegenerative disease, and all-cause mortality.
