"IGC's evidence supporting this theory is based on two studies done on tissue and mice at the University of South Florida (USF). The USF study found 1) THC to be effective at lowering Aβ levels in N2a/AβPPswe cells at extremely low concentrations in a dose-dependent manner over a 48-hour period; 2) that THC directly interacts with Aβ protein, thereby inhibiting aggregation; 3) that THC was effective at lowering both total GSK-3β levels and phosphorylated GSK-3β in a dose-dependent manner at low concentrations; and 4) that low doses of THC can increase mitochondria function. These studies led to the filing of a patent by USF entitled, 'THC as a Potential Therapeutic Agent for Alzheimer's Disease.' IGC acquired the exclusive right to this patent filing and expects to advance the technology and IGC-AD1 through medical trials.

"The theory is further supported by a study conducted by researchers at the Salk Institute of Biological Studies, who drew similar conclusions. In June 2016, the Institute, in a news release (http://nnw.fm/E5Ecm) headlined "Cannabinoids remove plaque-forming Alzheimer's proteins from brain cells," revealed that its scientists had found preliminary evidence "that tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and other compounds found in marijuana can promote the cellular removal of amyloid beta, a toxic protein associated with Alzheimer's disease."
