Cannabis sativa L. contains numerous compounds with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, including the flavonoids cannabinoids, particularly Δ-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) cannabidiol (CBD). Cannabinoids have an effect on endocannabinoid system (ECS), a cellular communication network, are, hence, widely studied for medical applications. Epidiolex®, 99% pure oral CBD extract, has been approved by FDA treatment of epilepsy. Nabiximols (Sativex) is oromucosal spray containing equal volume THC CBD, it commonly used as add-on unresponsive spasticity in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. Several vitro vivo studies also shown that cannabinoids can be to treat various types cancer, such melanoma brain glioblastoma; first positive clinical trials anticancer THC:CBD blend temozolomide (TMZ) highly invasive cancer are very promising. The exert their properties investigations induction cell death, mainly apoptosis cytotoxic autophagy, inhibition proliferation. In several studies, found induce tumor regression inhibit angiogenic mechanisms vivo, well two low-numbered epidemiological studies.

This review is devoted to an analysis of the hemp ( Cannabis sativa L.) seeds’ nutritional aspects and food production perspectives, that can become a valuable source multifunctional components for functional production. L. multipurpose crop with lowenvironmental impact traditionally cultivated in Western cultures fiber The propagation synthetic fibers intoxicating drugs from certain narcotic strains resulted banning its cultivation. Thus, culturing varieties are widely known as „industrial hemp“ has only been practiced past two decades. Hemp grown not economic importance but also value. seeds consists 25–35% lipids perfectly balanced fatty acids (FAs); 20–25% proteins, which easy digest contain all essential amino acids; 20–30% carbohydrates, mainly dietary fiber; vitamins minerals. Besides value, hempseed rich antioxidants bioactive compounds such peptides, polyphenols high free radicals scavenging activity, cannabinoids.

The Potential of Hemp Extracts to Modify the Course of Oxidative-Stress Related Conditions

Plants, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 13(12), P. 1630 - 1630

Published: June 13, 2024

The leaves of industrial hemp, which have long been considered as a waste product, proven to contain numerous compounds that possess potential biological activity. One the most interesting groups present are polyphenolic compounds, which, due their specific structure, pronounced antioxidant and antihyperglycemic potential. This study aimed detect activity, including potential, water water–alcoholic extracts five commercially available hemp teas, followed by phytochemical profiling. Hemp aqueous ethanolic demonstrate potent properties. Ethanol better scavengers DPPH• OH•, while neutralize NO• better. Both types exhibit in catalase test moderate XOD inhibition. Furthermore, α-amylase inhibitors, stronger anti-α-glucosidase suggesting therapeutic for chronic diseases like insulin resistance or diabetes. Further detailed chemical characterization vivo studies needed validate these findings.

From Waste to Resource: Mineral and Biochemical Characterization of Hemp By-Products in the Fiber and Seed Supply Chain

Agronomy, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 15(3), P. 564 - 564

Published: Feb. 25, 2025

Industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) is a versatile and sustainable multipurpose plant for agroecology services zero-waste circular economy. While the focus has traditionally been on primary products like fiber seeds, nowadays there an increasing awareness of potential value by-products generated during cultivation processing. This article explores various methods valorizing industrial wastes, focusing their mineral biochemical composition, highlighting benefits utilizing what was once considered mere by-product. The apical basal leaves 12 varieties, six monoecious, dioecious, representing main by-product supply chain, were assessed (N, K, Na, Ca; Mg, Cu, Mn, Fe, Zn), chlorophyll, carotenoids, total soluble phenols contents, as well antioxidant activity. same parameters also evaluated in inflorescences; waste derived from both seed harvesting, which collected at three stages flower development four selected genotypes, together with yield chemical composition essential oils. Differences among genotypes tissues highlighted, showing diversifying utilization wastes. possible uses these residual biomasses are discussed based composition.

Replacing Soybean Meal with Hemp Leaves in a Dairy Cow Diet: Plasma Antioxidative Capacity, Inflammatory Parameters and Milk Constituents

Animals, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 15(10), P. 1414 - 1414

Published: May 14, 2025

Hemp is rich in bioactive compounds known to exert antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. We hypothesised that feeding industrial hemp leaves would increase the antioxidative capacity, reduce pro-inflammatory markers, modulate milk amino fatty acid profiles of dairy cows. Twelve Holstein cows were randomly assigned a total mixed ration (TMR) containing 7.4% (HEMP) Santhica 27 variety or TMR-based diet 3.5% soybean meal (CON). Diets fed cross-over design, each for 2 weeks divided by 2-week washout period. HEMP revealed higher plasma cannabinoid concentrations, capacity anserine concentration, but lower π-methylhistidine, α-aminoadipic isoleucine concentrations. Lipid peroxidation tumour necrosis factor-alpha concentrations not different between groups. The leukocyte RELA mRNA expression was higher, whereas TNFA abundance tended be group. In milk, n-3 polyunsaturated (PUFA) n-6/n-3 PUFA ratio than CON results provide evidence supplementation with increases transfer cannabinoids into milk.
