Resumo
Objetivo: Avaliar o potencial terapêutico do extrato de Cannabis sp em modelo de Doença de Alzheimer induzida por cloreto de alumínio em ratos. Métodos: Trinta ratos Wistar foram divididos em cinco grupos (n=6) onde um dos grupos não recebeu nenhum tratamento, outro grupo recebeu apenas cloreto de alumínio e os demais, além do cloreto de alumínio, receberam diferentes doses (50, 100 e 150µl) de extrato oleoso de Cannabis sp. Os animais foram submetidos à eutanásia um dia após o tratamento, onde o cérebro foi coletado, fixado, processado e incluído em parafina. Cortes histológicos do hipocampo foram utilizados para avaliação qualitativa e quantitativa das alterações morfológicas. Soro sanguíneo também foi obtido para determinar indicadores do estado oxidativo. Resultados: Redução de mais de 80% da morte celular na região do giro denteado do hipocampo dos animais tratados com o extrato de cannabis. Além disso, também foi observada no soro uma redução nos níveis de proteínas totais em aproximadamente 20% e um aumento (15%) nas enzimas antioxidantes em relação ao controle positivo. Conclusão: O uso do extrato oleoso de Cannabis sp. em uma proporção de 2:1 de delta-9-tetrahidrocanabinol (THC): Canabidiol (CBD) reduziu efetivamente as mortes de neurônios do hipocampo por amiloidose induzida na intoxicação crônica por cloreto de alumínio.
