Article Title: Beyond the hype: a comprehensive exploration of CBD’s biological impacts and mechanisms of action
doi: 10.1186/s42238-025-00274-y
Figure Lengend Snippet: CBD interacts with ion channels and G-protein coupled receptors. CBD interacts with multiple ion channels, including the TRP channels TRPM8, TRPV1, TRPV2, TRPV3, TRPV4, and TRPA1, serotonin receptor 5HT 3A , sodium channels Na V 1.1–1.7, L-type calcium channels, voltage-gated potassium channels K V 7.2, K V 7.3, K V 4.3, and K V 11.1, and glycine receptors. CBD interacts with the G protein-coupled receptors GPR3, GPR6, GPR12, and GPR55, the μ-opioid and ∂-opioid receptors, and interacts with receptors who couple with G protein coupled receptors for downstream signaling cascades, including 5HT 1A serotonin receptors and D2 dopamine receptors.

Article Snippet: Because TRPV1 is responsive to high heat (Samanta et al. ), and because it is expressed in the area postrema of the medulla, along gastric enteric and vagal nerves, and on cutaneous receptors in the dermis and epidermis (Tissue expression of TRPV1 - Summary - The Human Protein Atlas ), researchers postulate that repetitive TRPV1 activation may cause vomiting from overexcitation, or relief from the vomiting under acute activation of the hot shower.
