Abstract: The liver plays a key role in regulating total body energy homeostasis and its ability to do so is greatly affected by the occurrence of pathological conditions such as hepatosteatosis or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which contributes to hepatic insulin resistance and potentially end-stage liver disease-related mortality. Triglyceride accumulation in hepatocytes of steatotic livers results from the incorporation of plasma free fatty acids as well as de novo fat synthesis. The present invention relates to the use of 7-hydroxy-cannabidiol (7-OH-CBD) in the treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Treatment of NAFLD involves lowering the triglyceride levels in a patient's blood stream.

Abstract: Food, beverage and nutritional supplements containing microparticles containing stabilised CBD oil, and methods for the production thereof” Food, beverage and nutritional supplements that containing microparticles are described. The microparticles contain CBD oil stabilized in an acacia or inulin fibre or cyclodextrin matrix. Methods for the production of the compositions comprise making the microparticles by providing an oil-in-water microemulsion comprising CBD oil, water, acacia/inulin fibre and optionally maltodextrin or cyclodextrin, and freeze-drying the microemulsion to remove water and provide a preparation of dried microparticles. The dried microparticles comprise a dispersed phase of stabilized microdroplets of CBD oil disposed in a continuous solid matrix comprising acacia or inulin fibre. The preparation of microcapsules contains less than 10% free CBD oil and exhibit improved pharmacokinetics and bioavailability of CD.

Abstract: The present invention is a novel and enhanced co-fermentation product of hemp and Cannabis, in which 1 part shredded or divided hemp stems, leaves and flowers are admixed into a slurry with 2 parts water and the slurry is sterilized prior to inoculation with solid or liquid mycelium culture. After inoculation, fermentation takes place at 66-70 degrees F. for 14-28 days, followed by drying of the fermented admixture at 110-165 degrees F. for 24-48 hours, prior to co-minuting or powdering the dried end product for incorporation in oral dosage forms such as pressed tablets, manufactured capsules or powder or as an ingredient in functional foods. By following these method steps including the initial creation of the 2:1 aqueous:hemp slurry, both hemp and mushroom component conversions occur to an unexpected degree.
Abstract: The present invention relates to chimeric peptides having a caveolin-1 binding domain of an HIV-1 gp41 (CBD1) peptide or a variant of said CBD1, fused to a T helper epitope. In one aspect, the T epitope is from a peptide selected from the group consisting of a tetanus toxin, an HIV-1 Gag p24 and an HIV-1 Env-gp120. Compositions containing these chimeric peptides and pharmaceutical and immunogenic compositions as well as vaccines comprising these chimeric peptides also are part of the present invention. Methods to induce neutralizing antibodies against HIV-1 activity and uses of the chimeric peptides to treat or to prevent HIV-1 infection are also disclosed.

Abstract: Methods of producing a CBD/THC oil are disclosed. In some embodiments, the method may include extracting CBD/THC from plant matter using one or more solvents, winterizing the solvent extract, and evaporating the one or more solvents from the winterized extract. The method may additionally include distilling the evaporated extract via a short path distillation apparatus to produce an initial distillate oil, mixing the initial distillate oil with at least one solvent, and running the mixture of initial distillate oil and at least one solvent through a chromatography column to produce an effluent. The method may further include evaporating the at least one solvent from the effluent, distilling the evaporated effluent via a short path distillation apparatus to produce a final distillate oil, and mixing one or more desired terpenes with the final distillate oil.
