The liver is a key metabolic organ that is particularly sensitive to environmental factors, including UV radiation. As UV radiation induces oxidative stress and inflammation, natural compounds are under investigation as one method to counteract these consequences. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of topical application of phytocannabinoid-cannabidiol (CBD) on the skin of nude rats chronically irradiated with UVA/UVB, paying particular attention to its impact on the liver…

Oxidative Stress and Its Consequences in the Blood of Rats Irradiated with UV: Protective Effect of Cannabidiol

It was shown that CBD penetrated the blood and in UVB-irradiated rats was preferentially located in the membranes of polymorphonuclear leukocytes, which promoted reduction of ROS generation and up-regulation of antioxidant ability by increasing the activity of glutathione reductase and thioredoxin reduct enzyme.

Cannabidiol protects keratinocyte cell membranes following exposure to UVB and hydrogen peroxide

Cannabidiol Effects on Phospholipid Metabolism in Keratinocytes from Patients with Psoriasis Vulgaris

It is concluded that cannabidiol partially reduces oxidative stress in the keratinocytes of healthy individuals, while showing a tendency to increase the oxidative and inflammatory state of patients with psoriasis, especially following UV-irradiation.

Modulation of the Oxidative Stress and Lipid Peroxidation by Endocannabinoids and Their Lipid Analogues

A better understanding of the main mechanisms triggered by the cross-talk between the oxidative stress and the ECS is provided, focusing also on the enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants as scavengers of reactive aldehydes and their toxic bioactive adducts.

Prostaglandin E2 is required for ultraviolet B-induced skin inflammation via EP2 and EP4 receptors

The data suggest that PGE2-EP2/EP4 signaling is mandatory in UV-induced acute skin inflammation, presumably by enhancing blood flow in the microenvironment.

Acute exposure to solar simulated ultraviolet radiation affects oxidative stress-related biomarkers in skin, liver and blood of hairless mice.

Examination of the acute effects of UVA and UVB wavebands on hairless mice found changes in oxidative stress-related parameters, particularly activity of catalase and superoxide dismutase and level of GSH and lipid peroxidation products, were found in skin, erythrocytes and liver.

Increased synthesis of high-molecular-weight cPLA2 mediates early UV-induced PGE2 in human skin.

The results suggest that increased cPLA2 synthesis occurs only when skin is exposed to UV doses that are sufficient to cause erythema and indicate expression of c PLA2 participates in acute UV inflammation.

Endocannabinoid System in Hepatic Glucose Metabolism, Fatty Liver Disease, and Cirrhosis

The present review summarizes the current understanding and impact of the ECS on glucose metabolism in the liver, in association with the development of liver cirrhosis and hemodynamics in cir rhosis and its complication, to give perspectives for development of new therapeutic strategies.
