Project Abstract

The use of cannabis sativa for medicinal and recreational purposes has been on the rise in recent years, with an increasing interest in exploring its potential effects on various physiological parameters. This study aimed to investigate the impact of inhaled cannabis sativa and ascorbic acid (vitamin C) on the body weight, organ weight, and sex hormone levels in male Wistar rats. Male Wistar rats were divided into four groups control, cannabis sativa inhalation, ascorbic acid supplementation, and combination of cannabis sativa inhalation and ascorbic acid supplementation. The rats were exposed to cannabis sativa inhalation for a specified period, while the ascorbic acid group received supplementation orally. The combined group received both treatments concurrently. Body weight measurements were recorded throughout the study period to assess any changes resulting from the interventions. At the end of the study, the rats were sacrificed, and their organs were collected and weighed to determine any alterations in organ weight due to the treatments. Additionally, blood samples were collected to analyze the levels of sex hormones, including testosterone, luteinizing hormone (LH), and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). Preliminary results indicated that inhaled cannabis sativa had a significant impact on body weight, with rats in this group showing altered weight gain compared to the control group. Ascorbic acid supplementation alone did not demonstrate a marked effect on body weight. However, the combined group exhibited a unique response, suggesting a potential interaction between cannabis sativa and ascorbic acid in modulating body weight regulation. Organ weight measurements revealed variations in specific organs, such as the liver and kidneys, among the different treatment groups. These changes may indicate potential physiological adaptations in response to the interventions. Analysis of sex hormone levels indicated alterations in testosterone, LH, and FSH concentrations following the treatments. Cannabis sativa inhalation appeared to influence the hormonal balance in the rats, with implications for reproductive function and overall endocrine regulation. Overall, this study provides valuable insights into the effects of inhaled cannabis sativa and ascorbic acid on body weight, organ weight, and sex hormone levels in male Wistar rats. Further research is warranted to elucidate the underlying mechanisms and potential implications of these findings.
