In another study, this time conducted by Ianotti et al., in a model of muscular dystrophy (Duchenne muscular dystrophy), it was shown that the use of CBD limited motor dysfunction, improved muscle strength, and also reduced pro-inflammatory markers (IL-6, TNF-α, TGF-β1, iNOS) and autophagy (autophagy-regulating protease 4 and 12 (Atg4, Atg12), Unc-51 like autophagy activating kinase (ULK1)). Here, ULK1 is linked to muscular dystrophy.
