This review of the cannabinoids & the immune system says that CBD is one of the main modulators of the immune system Therapeutic Prospects of Cannabinoids in the Immunomodulation of Prevalent Autoimmune Diseases https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34030476/ “CBD was found to be one of the main modulators of the immune response. This molecule decreased the number of Th1 and Th17 proinflammatory cells and the production of the proinflammatory cytokines, interleukin (IL)-1, IL-12, IL-17, interferon (IFN)-γ, and tumor necrosis factor alpha, in mouse models of MS and DMT1.” In mouse exposed to UV radiation, CBD applied to skin helped to protect their blood from the negative consequences via several mechanisms Oxidative Stress and Its Consequences in the Blood of Rats Irradiated with UV: Protective Effect of Cannabidiol https://www.mdpi.com/2076-3921/10/6/821 This review looks at how the ECS interacts with your fat tissue & how it regulates your metabolism Role of the Endocannabinoid System in the Adipose Tissue with Focus on Energy Metabolism https://www.mdpi.com/2073-4409/10/6/1279/htm A review on targeting the ECS for the neuropathic pain of diabetes The endocannabinoid system as a therapeutic target in diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain: A review https://www.jmau.org/preprintarticle.asp?id=316861;type=0
