Ocular Hypotensive Effects of an Intratracheally Delivered Liposomal Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinol Preparation in Rats
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This study investigated the effect of an intratracheal (i.t.) administration of a liposome-entrapped Delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol (LTHC) preparation on intraocular pressure (IOP) in nonanaesthetized Brown Norway rats. The ocular hypotensive effects of i.t. LTHC were compared to that of intraperitoneal (i.p.) LTHC administration. All i.t. LTHC doses >0.05 mg/kg significantly decreased IOP (P < 0.05) within 30 min of administration, and doses of i.t. LTHC >0.1 mg/kg decreased IOP within 15 min of administration. A maximal reduction in IOP of 2.32 +/- 0.27 mmHg (n = 4) was seen with 1.0 mg/kg of i.t. LTHC. In comparison, no significant IOP drop was apparent prior to 30 min with all doses (0.01-1.0 mg/kg) of i.p. LTHC tested, although a similar maximum drop in IOP (2.15 +/- 0.12 mmHg; n = 8) was obtained with 1.0 mg/kg of LTHC. The ED(50) for i.t. and i.p. LTHC was 0.08 mg/kg and 0.12 mg/kg, respectively. The IOP-lowering effects of i.p. LTHC (0.2 mg/kg) were reduced by 14% and 80% by 0.25 mg/kg (n = 6) and 2.5 mg/kg (n = 6), respectively, of the CB1R antagonist, SR141716A. In conclusion, i.t. LTHC was superior to i.p. LTHC in producing a more rapid and potent decrease in IOP. The IOP-lowering effect of LTHC was blocked by the CB1R-selective antagonist, SR141716A, suggesting that CB1Rs contribute to the ocular hypotensive effect of Delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
