RESUMO

Neurodegenerative diseases are progressive disorder affecting specific neuronal populations in the central nervous system, leading to neuronal death. Several factors contribute to the development of neurodegenerative diseases, including increased free radical formation and / or oxidative stress. The cannabinoid system has been suggested as an important system neuroprotective in several models of neurodegeneration. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the involvement of the cannabinoid system in a model of in vitro cell death induced by hydrogen peroxide. The model used was the cell line Neuro 2A. Performed the treatments combined to verify the possible neuroprotective effects of the cannabinoid system. We obtained results of neuroprotection Methanandamide reversing the framework of cell death induced by hydrogen peroxide. We believe that this is via neuroprotection CB1 that inhibits calcium channels of voltage-dependent perhaps contributing to the reduction of the progression of excitotoxicity.
