THC reduced several inflammatory signals, including IL-1β, TNF-α, and type I interferon-related activity, in immune cells exposed to an inflammatory trigger.
In mice with systemic inflammation, THC also reduced activation of several immune-cell types and lowered inflammatory signaling in the brain.
The findings suggest THC may help calm an overactive inflammatory response without simply shutting down the immune system, while also supporting pathways linked to neurogenesis, synaptic plasticity, and neuronal function.
