Compound kushen injection improves radiation enteritis via cannabinoid receptor 1 in rats
Key Findings: Kushen injection reduces radiation-induced intestinal injury in rats, likely by activating CB1 receptors and suppressing inflammation and oxidative stress. Blocking CB1 reverses this effect.
Type of Study: Animal Study
Study Result: Positive
Research Location(s): China
Year of Pub: 2025
Cannabinoids Studied:
Phytocannabinoid Source: Not Applicable
Receptors Studied: CB1, CB1 agonist, CB1 antagonist
