According to earlier studies, marijuana use during adolescence raises the likelihood of mental disorders such schizophrenia, depression, and anxiety. The peptide ghrelin, which is largely generated in the gut, has a significant role in feeding behaviour. Recent research has demonstrated that ghrelin and the growth hormone secretagogue receptor, which is its receptor, are critical mediators of stress, anxiety, and depressive-like behaviours in animal models. Here, we examined the effects of persistent administration on anxiety-like behaviours in knockout mice and their wild-type littermates during late adolescence. Continuous exposure during late adolescence, according to our findings... Read More»
