Good news! Do we need to smoke more pot now or can we get some pills?Can we get the positive effects of cannabinoids without becoming stoned?
"... found that the patients who exercised reported less pain and had more microbes in their guts that produce anti-inflammatory compounds. They also had lower levels of cytokines, which are molecules that allow your cells to talk to each other, and are crucial for healthy immune system function. Cytokines are often responsible for triggering inflammation in the body, which can be critical to our survival when the body is infected but can cause a ‘pointless’ kind of inflammation when they go overboard.
Exercise also increased the levels of endocannabinoids, which was strongly associated with the changes in the beneficial gut microbes and the anti-inflammatory substances they produce. According to the study published in the journal Gut Microbes, at least a third of the anti-inflammatory effects of the gut microbes were due to endocannabinoids. ..."
Unfortunately, the abstract of this research paper is loaded with minute details unlike what is common practice!
I presume this is the research paper the above article is referring to:
The anti-inflammatory effect of bacterial short chain fatty acids is partially mediated by endocannabinoids (No public access. Courtesy of Semantic Scholar here is the link to the PDF file)
