Profiling the subjective effects of Δ9 -tetrahydrocannabinol using visual analogue scales

the effect of using visual aids on the development of speech act of disagreement among iranian intermediate efl learners

abstract the present study tried to investigate the effect of visual aids (films) on the development of the speech act of disagreement among iranian efl intermediate learners. to this end, the researcher selected 40 homogeneous intermediate learners based on their scores on oxford placement test. .the subjects then divided into control group and experimental group. both classes were tested by ...

Use of visual analogue scales.

G. R. V. HUGHES plates. Sixteen wells 3 mm in diameter and 1-5 mm apart are cut in a row, and a trough 3 mm wide is cut parallel to the wells 3 mm from their cathodal side. Heat inactivated sera (8 .lI) are added to the wells, and a tissue extract containing soluble antigens (150 ,ul) is placed in the trough. We use human spleen extract4 or rabbit thymus extract at a final protein concentration...

Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinol Prevents Methamphetamine-Induced Neurotoxicity

Methamphetamine (METH) is a potent psychostimulant with neurotoxic properties. Heavy use increases the activation of neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS), production of peroxynitrites, microglia stimulation, and induces hyperthermia and anorectic effects. Most METH recreational users also consume cannabis. Preclinical studies have shown that natural (Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol, Δ9-THC) and synthe...

Synaptic targets of Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol in the central nervous system.

The availability of potent synthetic agonists for cannabinoid receptors has facilitated our understanding of cannabinoid actions on synaptic transmission in the central nervous system. Moreover, the ability of these compounds to inhibit neurotransmitter release at many central synapses is thought to underlie most of the behavioral effects of cannabinoid agonists. However, despite the widespread...
