A dried cannabis flower. The short-term effects of cannabis are caused by many chemical compounds in the cannabis plant, including 113 [clarification needed] different cannabinoids, such as tetrahydrocannabinol, and 120 terpenes, [1] which allow its drug to have various psychological and physiological effects on the human body.
Ergotism (pron. / ˈ ɜːr ɡ ə t ˌ ɪ z ə m / UR-gət-iz-əm) is the effect of long-term ergot poisoning, traditionally due to the ingestion of the alkaloids produced by the Claviceps purpurea fungus—from the Latin clava "club" or clavus "nail" and -ceps for "head", i.e. the purple club-headed fungus—that infects rye and other cereals, and more recently by the action of a number of ...
Human body absorbs the chemicals in the wood through the lungs, skin and digestive system, resulting in breathlessness, headaches, dizziness, cramps, irregular heartbeat and weight loss. Other substances used on or in wood (e.g., pesticides , paint, paint strippers , glues, adhesives , resins , waterproofing compounds, dyes , lacquers ...
The endocannabinoid system, broadly speaking, includes: Endocannabinoids, which are the physiological ligands, or connecting substances, for the cannabinoid receptors.The main endocannabinoids are anandamide (N-arachidonoylethanolamide) and 2-AG (2-arachidonoylglycerol), which are in the same class of chemical compounds, called N-acylethanolamines (NAEs).
The human musculoskeletal system (also known as the human locomotor system, and previously the activity system) is an organ system that gives humans the ability to move using their muscular and skeletal systems. The musculoskeletal system provides form, support, stability, and movement to the body.
The ubiquity of CYP genes in humans worldwide, including CYP2A6 and CYP2B6, which metabolize nicotine, as well as other drugs, might suggest an evolutionary history with humans and plant neurotoxins. [12] The mammalian body has also evolved to develop defenses against over toxicity, such as exogenous substance metabolism and vomiting reflexes. [17]
The brain is able to overcome negative feedback in these localized systems and continuously evaluate the body's internal set-points. By doing so, the body can regulate its resources and energy storage efficiently. Another key component of allostasis is the brain's perception and subsequent adaptation to chronic stress.
On other animals much research has been done, but it might not be comparable to humans. In mice the elimination of FB 1 is very rapid, but in humans it could be much slower considering their body weight. [6] There are several possible pathways that cause toxic effects of Fumonisin B 1. Most toxic effects are due to altered sphingolipid ...
