Polymorphism of A, B and H substances in seminal fluid.

The polymorphism of A, B and H substances recently described in human saliva has been studied in seminal fluid of 71 subjects. Semen was found to contain the same molecular species of A, B and H substances which were observed in saliva and red cells. The comparison of gel-chromatographic patterns of the saliva and semen of 40 subjects showed identical ABH patterns in 26 cases, while in the remaining 14 some differences were observed.

Muscular dystrophy in mice after chronic subcutaneous treatment with cannabinoids.

Swiss male albino mice were treated subcutaneously with the main cannabinoids (CBN, CBD, delta9-THC) at the dosage of 1 mg/kg per day for 30 days, and with the crude resin. At the end of the treatment, after supramaximal stimulation of the sciatic nerve, a significant decrease of both maximal twitch and tetanus tensions was observed in delta9-THC-treated animals; CBD and resin treatment produced some decrease in active tension, while CBN treatment induced an enhancement of the contractile strength. Histology showed lesions interpretable as due to muscular dystrophy. Analysis of protein and hydroxyproline muscular content showed a marked reduction in protein in all treated animals, with a corresponding high increase in hydroxyproline content.
