Hemp Protein And Cancer Treatment

How to use Hemp Proteing To Treat Cancer.

A team of Spanish researchers has discovered that protein p8 is one of the agents involved in the killing of tumor cells. This has led people to used hemp protein. The results of the investigation were published in the magazine tomorrow ‘Cancer Cell’, and determined that the hemp could be used to improve cancer treatment in which substances are used in the ‘cannabis sativa’ or plant of marijuana, inducing the death of cancer cells.

According to researcher, the investigation has enabled them to know that this protein is the ‘referee’ which coordinates the response of the diseased cells when treated with THC which means’ a step closer in this type of therapy. During the investigation researchers working in the laboratory of biologists devoted several years to research into hemp protein and identified the genes and protein p8 AFT-4, CHOP, and as TRB3 those possibly responsible for the cellular response.

Through tests on mice, researchers  found that, when injected the hemp protein compound, the expression of these genes, led by p8, is’ shoot ‘, which leads in turn to the cell’ is stress. This circumstance is abnormal and occurs when the cell must synthesize a large amount of protein and the cell body in charge of that function called the endoplasmic grid. The accumulation of proteins damages the cell and eventually destroys it.

The interesting thing about the investigation is that it has been discovered that the action of the hemp protein is’ selective ‘, as it only leads to the death of cancer cells, not those who are healthy.

In addition, the team of biologists who also has investigated in patients properties of these compounds, found that the action of THC is favored when combined with other substances inducing cancer cell death. The joint action of these chemicals could be the basis for future anticancer drug, since in these cases would be used smaller doses of hemp protein, the body that would be less toxic.
